.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
If input is provided on \fIstdin\fR it will be parsed instead of \fB\-\-logfile\fR.
Log entries will be displayed if they match \fIany\fR of the provided filters.  To
display the intersection of multiple filters they can be connected by a pipe:

.SH OPTIONS
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP \fB\-\-config\fR=\fIpath\fR 4
.IX Item "--config=path"

Set an alternate system root.  See \fBpacutils\-sysroot\fR\|(7).
.IP \fB\-\-[no\-]color\fR 4
.IX Item "--[no-]color"
Colorize output.  By default output will be colorized if \fIstdout\fR is
a terminal.

included it will be silently ignored, allowing output from \f(CW\*(C`date \-I\*(C'\fR to be
used:
.Sp

.SH CAVEATS
.IX Header "CAVEATS"
\&\fBpaclog\fR determines whether or not to read the log file from \fIstdin\fR based on
a naive check using \fBisatty\fR\|(3).  If \fBpaclog\fR is called in an environment,
such as a shell function or script being used in a pipe, where \fIstdin\fR is not
connected to a terminal but does not a log file to parse, \fBpaclog\fR should be
called with \fIstdin\fR closed.  For POSIX-compatible shells, this can be done
with \f(CW\*(C`<&\-\*(C'\fR.
