.TH "idevicesyslog" 1
.SH NAME
idevicesyslog \- Relay syslog of a connected device.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B idevicesyslog
[OPTIONS]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Relay syslog of a connected device.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-u, \-\-udid UDID
target specific device by UDID
.TP
.B \-n, \-\-network
connect to network device
.TP
.B \-x, \-\-exit
exit when device disconnects
.TP
.B \-d, \-\-debug
enable communication debugging
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
prints usage information
.TP
.B \-v, \-\-version
Prints version information.
.TP
.B \-\-no\-colors
disable colored output
.TP
.B \-o, \-\-output FILE
Write to FILE instead of stdout. This will disable writing colored output, but can be re-enabled with \f[B]\-\-colors\f[].
If FILE already exists, it will be overwritten without warning.
.TP
.B \-\-colors
Force writing colored output, e.g. when using \f[B]\-\-output\f[].
.SH FILTER OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-m, \-\-match STRING
only print messages that contain STRING
This option will set a filter to only printed log messages that contain the given string.
.TP
.B \-t, \-\-trigger STRING
start logging when matching STRING
When specified, logging will start as soon as a log messages is encountered that contains the given string. See also
\f[B]\-T, \-\-untrigger\f[]. Other filters are still applied but obviously filtered messages are only printed after logging has started.
.TP
.B \-T, \-\-untrigger STRING
stop logging when matching STRING
When specified logging will halt as soon as a log message is encountered that contains the given string. See also
\f[B]\-t, \-\-trigger\f[]. Other filters are still applied but obviously filtered messages are only printed before logging stops.
NOTE: If no \f[B]\-\-trigger\f[] is given, idevicesyslog will exit after a matching log message was encountered.
.TP
.B \-p, \-\-process PROCESS
only print messages from matching process(es)
PROCESS is a string that can either be a numeric pid or a process name. It also supports multiple process names or pids in one string, separated by | (make sure to use quotes!).
.TP
.B \-e, \-\-exclude PROCESS
print all messages except matching process(es)
PROCESS is a string that can either be a numeric pid or a process name. It also supports multiple process names or pids in one string, separated by | (make sure to use quotes!).
.TP
.B \-q, \-\-quiet
set a filter to exclude common noisy processes
Since the syslog can be quite noisy, this quick command line switch allows silencing a predefined set of commonly known processes. The list of processes that are silenced can be retrieved with \f[B]\-\-quiet\-list\f[].
.TP
.B \-\-quiet\-list
prints the list of processes for \f[B]\-\-quiet\f[] and exits
.TP
.B \-k, \-\-kernel
only print kernel messages
This is actually equivalent to passing \f[B]\-\-process kernel\f[] with the exception that it can be used with \f[B]\-\-quiet\f[] to silence out the noisy process but still get all the kernel log messages.
.TP
.B \-K, \-\-no\-kernel
suppress kernel messages
This is equivalent to passing \f[B]\-\-exclude kernel\f[].
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-u 00008030\-0000111ABC000DEF
Relay syslog of device with UDID 00008030-0000111ABC000DEF.
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-x
Relay syslog of device and exit when the device is unplugged.
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-m '####' \-e 'identityservicesd' \-K
Only print log messages that contain the string #### and do NOT originate from identityservicesd or the kernel.
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-p MyApp \-p ReportCrash
Only print log messages from the process named 'MyApp' and 'ReportCrash'.
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-p 'MyApp|ReportCrash'
Same as previous example with different syntax.
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-e 'backboardd|CommCenter|mDNSResponder'
Suppress log messages from backboardd, CommCenter, and mDNSResponder.
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-q \-k
Suppress log messages from common noisy processes, but DO print kernel log messages.
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-K
Suppress log messages from kernel, but print everything else
.TP
.B idevicesyslog \-t 'backlight on' \-T 'backlight off' \-q
Start logging when the device turns on backlight and stop logging when it turns backlight off, and suppress noisy processes
