memlog-show

Arguments: &key format thread stop start wait log

Print the contents of the current memory log to *standard-output*. The printing is always done from a copy of the current log. The value is returned is the copy from which the output was printed.

If the log argument is not supplied, call memlog-copy with the supplied stop, start, and wait arguments. If the log argument is specified, it must be a memory-log instance. In that case memlog-copy is not called; the output is derived from the supplied log.

If the thread argument is supplied it may be an integer thread index or a string or symbol. Only the entries pertaining to the specified thread are printed. A string or symbol is matched to the start of a process name, ignoring case.

The format argument specifies a format for the output; the default is :default. The allowed values are:

• :raw -- print all the components of an entry on one line with the ~S format directive for each.
• :default -- print a moderately readable form of each entry.
• :logfmt -- print the leading elements of the entry in the :default format. Examine elements after the fourth and treat a string containing ~ as a format string to use on the remaining parts of the entry.
• a string -- treat the string as a format string applied to the log entry to return a string for an output line.
• other -- apply other to the current log entry.
