NAME

redo-log - display log messages from previous builds

SYNOPSIS

redo-log [options...] [targets...]

DESCRIPTION

When redo runs, it captures the standard error (stderr) output from the build activity for each target, and saves it for later. When a target is rebuilt, the new logs replace the old logs for that target. redo-log prints the log output for any set of targets.

OPTIONS

-r, --recursive : if the requested targets cause any dependencies to be built, recursively show the logs from those dependencies as well. (And if those dependencies build further dependencies, also show those logs, and so on.)

-u, --unchanged : show messages even for dependencies that were unchanged (did not need to be rebuilt). To do this, we show the logs for the most recent build of each affected dependency. Usually this is used with -r.

-f, --follow : if a build is currently running for any of the requested targets or their dependencies, follow the logs (like tail -f) until the build finishes.

--no-details : display only the messages from redo itself, not the other messages produced by build scripts. Generally this gives you a list of which targets were built, but not detailed logs, warnings, or errors.

--no-status : don't display the running build status at the bottom of the screen. (Unless this option is specified, the status line will be enabled if using --follow, if stderr is a terminal.) If stderr is not a terminal, you can force enable the status line using --status.

--no-pretty : display "raw" redo log lines (@@REDO events) rather than using a human-readable format. The default is --pretty.

--no-color : when using --pretty and writing to a terminal, colorize the output to make results stand out more clearly. If not writing to a terminal, you can use --color to force colorized output.

--debug-locks : print messages about acquiring, releasing, and waiting on locks. Because redo can be highly parallelized, one instance may end up waiting for a target to be built by some other instance before it can continue. If you suspect this is causing troubles, use this option to see which instance is waiting and when.

--debug-pids : add the process id of the particular redo instance to each output message. This makes it easier to figure out which sub-instance of redo is doing what.
