NAME

       pidcat - log filter and viewer for Android development

SYNOPSIS

       pidcat  [-h]  [-w  N]  [-l  {loglevel}] [--color-gc] [--always-display-tags] [-s DEVICE_SERIAL] [-d] [-e]
       [package [package ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       An update to Jeff Sharkey's excellent logcat color script which only shows log entries for processes from
       a specific application package.

       During  application  development  you  often  want  to  only  display  log messages coming from your app.
       Unfortunately, because the process ID changes every time you deploy to the phone it becomes  a  challenge
       to grep for the right thing.

       This  script  solves  that  problem by filtering by application package. Supply the target package as the
       sole argument to the python script and enjoy a more convenient development process.

   Required Arguments:
       package
              Application package name(s)

       -l {V,D,I,W,E,F}, --min-level {V,D,I,W,E,F}

       --color-gc
