Added logsave.c and logsave.8 manual page from e2fsprogs to make
sure logsave is available to initscripts. Updated src/Makefile to make sure bootlogd compiles with Clang.

|

.SH NAME
|
||||
logsave \- save the output of a command in a logfile
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B logsave
|
||||
[
|
||||
.B \-asv
|
||||
]
|
||||
.I logfile cmd_prog [ ... ]
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B logsave
|
||||
program will execute
|
||||
.I cmd_prog
|
||||
with the specified argument(s), and save a copy of its output to
|
||||
.IR logfile .
|
||||
If the containing directory for
|
||||
.I logfile
|
||||
does not exist,
|
||||
.B logsave
|
||||
will accumulate the output in memory until it can be written out.
|
||||
A copy of the output will also be written to standard output.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I cmd_prog
|
||||
is a single hyphen ('-'), then instead of executing a program,
|
||||
.B logsave
|
||||
will take its input from standard input and save it in
|
||||
.I logfile
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.B logsave
|
||||
is useful for saving the output of initial boot scripts
|
||||
until the /var partition is mounted, so the output can be written to
|
||||
/var/log.
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-a
|
||||
This option will cause the output to be appended to
|
||||
.IR logfile ,
|
||||
instead of replacing its current contents.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-s
|
||||
This option will cause
|
||||
.B logsave
|
||||
to skip writing to the log file text which is bracketed with a control-A
|
||||
(ASCII 001 or Start of Header) and control-B (ASCII 002 or Start of
|
||||
Text). This allows progress bar information to be visible to the user
|
||||
on the console, while not being written to the log file.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-v
|
||||
This option will make
|
||||
.B logsave
|
||||
to be more verbose in its output to the user.
