NAME

i3-dump-log − dumps the i3 SHM log

SYNOPSIS

i3−dump−log [−s <socketpath>] [−f]

DESCRIPTION

Debug versions of i3 automatically use 1% of your RAM (but 25 MiB max) to store full debug log output. This is extremely helpful for bugreports and figuring out what is going on, without permanently logging to a file.

With i3−dump−log, you can dump the SHM log to stdout.

The −f flag works like tail −f, i.e. the process does not terminate after dumping the log, but prints new lines as they appear.

EXAMPLE

i3−dump−log | gzip −9 > /tmp/i3−log.gz

SEE ALSO

i3(1)
