NAME

       zypper-log - Zypper logfile reader

SYNOPSIS

       zypper-log [OPTIONS] [PID]

DESCRIPTION

       zypper-log can read zypper’s logfiles. It can also handle rotated logfiles, and will open
       plain, xz, gz and bz2-compressed files.

       By default /var/log/zypper.log will be read and a list of all zypper invocations is shown:

           $ zypper-log
           Reading /var/log/zypper.log ............... DONE

       When you provide a pid, you will get the complete log for the corresponding zypper run.

OPTIONS

       -d YYYY-MM-DD
           Only view zypper runs of the specified day.

       -l FILE
           Only read this logfile.

       -r NUMBER
           Also read the NUMBER latest rotated logfiles.

       --help
           Print help and quit.

FILES

       /var/log/zypper.log
           zypper default logfile.

       /var/log/YaST2/y2log
           As YAST uses a similar logfile format, you should be able to scan the YAST logfiles as
           well, using the -l switch.
