PACLOG(1)                           paclog                           PACLOG(1)


NAME
       paclog - filter pacman log entries

SYNOPSIS
        paclog [options] [filters]...
        paclog [options] --pkglist
        paclog (--help|--version)

DESCRIPTION
       If input is provided on stdin it will be parsed instead of --logfile.
       Log entries will be displayed if they match any of the provided
       filters.  To display the intersection of multiple filters they can be
       connected by a pipe:

        paclog --after=2015-01-01 | paclog --warnings

OPTIONS
       --config=path
           Set an alternate configuration file path.

       --logfile=path
           Set an alternate log file path.

       --root=path
           Set an alternate installation root.

       --sysroot=path
           Set an alternate system root.  See pacutils-sysroot(7).

       --[no-]color
           Colorize output.  By default output will be colorized if stdout is
           a terminal.

       --pkglist
           Print the list of installed packages according to the log.

       --help
           Display usage information and exit.

       --version
           Display version information and exit.

   Filters
       --action=action
           Display package operations.  action must be one of "install",
           "reinstall", "upgrade", "downgrade", "remove", or "all".

       --after=date, --before=date
           Display entries after/before date.  If seconds or timezone
           information is included it will be silently ignored, allowing
           output from "date -I" to be used:

            paclog --after "$(date -Iminutes --date '3 days ago')"

       --caller=name
           Display log entries from name.  May be specified multiple times.
           Case-sensitive.

       --commandline
           Display pacman-style logged commandline entries.

       --grep=regex
           Display log entries whose message matches regex.

       --package=pkgname
           Display logged actions affecting pkgname.  May be specified
           multiple times.

       --warnings
           Display errors, warnings, and notes.

CAVEATS
       paclog determines whether or not to read the log file from stdin based
       on a naive check using isatty(3).  If paclog is called in an
       environment, such as a shell function or script being used in a pipe,
       where stdin is not connected to a terminal but does not a log file to
       parse, paclog should be called with stdin closed.  For POSIX-compatible
       shells, this can be done with "<&-".
