Alogview - a coloured log viewer for ADB logcat

Alogview is a simple wrapper for adb logcat, which shows all log messages originating from specific application packages. It also colours them according to their severity level.

It is inspired by Jake Whartons excellent pidcat script, which uses its own output format, which I find inconvenient.

Usage

alogview [PACKAGES]

Invoking alogview without any argument prints all received log messages to stdout. If one or more package is supplied, only log messages emitted by processes belonging to those packages are printed.

Installation

Adb from the Android SDK is expected to be on the PATH.

A simple go get github.com/flimberger/alogview is sufficient.
