lnav: Validate the format of log files against the configuration and report any errors.
$ lnav -C ${path-to-log_directory}
try on your machine
The command "lnav -C ${path-to-log_directory}" is used to execute the lnav log file viewer tool with a specific log directory.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "lnav" is the executable command for the lnav tool. It is a powerful log file viewer that allows users to analyze and navigate through log files.
- "-C" is an option or flag provided to lnav. It stands for "config-dir" and is used to specify a directory where lnav should look for its configuration files. In this case, it is followed by "${path-to-log_directory}".
- "${path-to-log_directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the log directory you want to view. The real path will depend on the location of your log files.
By using this command, you are instructing lnav to launch and start analyzing the log files within the specified log directory. The specified directory should contain log files that lnav can read and parse.
