log: Stream logs sent to `syslog` from the process with a specific PID.
$ log stream --process ${process_id}
try on your machine
The command "log stream --process ${process_id}" is used to view the log messages generated by a specific process specified by its process ID.
Here's how the command works:
- "log" is the command-line utility in macOS used to access system logs and related information.
- "stream" is an option in the "log" command that allows continuous streaming of log messages in real-time.
- "--process" is another option in the "log" command that allows filtering the logs based on a specific process.
- "${process_id}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual process ID of the process you want to monitor.
When you execute this command, it will start streaming log messages in real-time on your terminal that are only related to the process identified by the provided process ID. This helps in monitoring and troubleshooting specific processes by viewing their log output.
