ANNOTATE-OUTPUT(1)					    ANNOTATE-OUTPUT(1)

NAME
       annotate-output - annotate program output with time and stream

SYNOPSIS
       annotate-output [options] program [args ...]

DESCRIPTION
       annotate-output	will  execute  the specified program, while prepending
       every line with the current time and O for stdout and E for stderr.

OPTIONS
       +FORMAT
	      Controls the timestamp format,  as  per  date(1).	  Defaults  to
	      "%H:%M:%S".

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message and exit successfully.

EXAMPLE
       $ annotate-output make
       21:41:21 I: Started make
       21:41:21 O: gcc -Wall program.c
       21:43:18 E: program.c: Couldn't compile, and took me ages to find out
       21:43:19 E: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
       21:43:19 E: make: *** [all] Error 1
       21:43:19 I: Finished with exitcode 2

BUGS
       Since  stdout  and stderr are processed in parallel, it can happen that
       some lines received on stdout will show up before later-printed	stderr
       lines (and vice-versa).

       This  is	 unfortunately	very  hard  to fix with the current annotation
       strategy.  A fix would involve switching	 to  PTRACE'ing	 the  process.
       Giving  nice  a	(much) higher priority over the executed program could
       however cause this behaviour to show up less frequently.

       The program does not work as well when the output is not linewise.   In
       particular,  when  an  interactive program asks for input, the question
       might not be shown until after you have answered it.   This  will  give
       the impression that the annotated program has hung, while it has not.

SUPPORT
       This  program  is  community-supported  (meaning: you'll need to fix it
       yourself).  Patches are however appreciated, as is any feedback	(posi‐
       tive or negative).
