log: Show logs sent to syslog from a process with a specific name.
$ log show --predicate "process == '${process_name}'"
try on your machine
The command "log show --predicate "process == '${process_name}'"" is used to display logs in a macOS system that match a specific process name.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "log show" is the command to display logs on macOS.
- "--predicate" is an option that allows you to filter the logs based on specific criteria.
- "process == '${process_name}'" is the predicate expression used to filter the logs. In this case, it filters for logs where the 'process' field is equal to the value of the variable 'process_name'.
So, when you run this command, it will show the logs that are associated with the specified process name (the value of the 'process_name' variable will be substituted in the command).
For example, if you set 'process_name' to "MyApp", the command will display logs related to the "MyApp" process only.
