dategrep is a command-line utility designed to extract lines from log files that fall within a specified time range. It efficiently processes large log files by performing a binary search to locate the relevant entries, making it a valuable tool for system administrators and developers analyzing time-specific events.

Features

  • Performs binary search on normal files for fast access
  • Supports reading from standard input and compressed files
  • Automatically sorts files before processing
  • Merges lines from multiple files into a single output stream
  • Allows flexible syntax to declare date ranges
  • Terminates processing once entries outside the range are found
