logsave: Take input from standard input and save it in a log file.
$ logsave ${logfile} -
try on your machine
The command "logsave" is used to save the output of a command or script to a log file. Here is how this specific command is explained:
-
"${logfile}" represents the name of the log file where the output will be saved. This is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual filename and path.
-
The "-" symbol indicates that the command will receive the output from another command or script through standard input (stdin). It is used to redirect the input source to the logsave command.
Therefore, when this command is executed, it will take the input from stdin and save it to a log file with the provided filename. The log file will contain the output of the command or script that is piped into logsave.
