NAME

6       i3-dump-log - dumps the i3 SHM log
7

SYNOPSIS

9       i3-dump-log [-s <socketpath>] [-f]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Debug versions of i3 automatically use 1% of your RAM (but 25 MiB max)
13       to store full debug log output. This is extremely helpful for
14       bugreports and figuring out what is going on, without permanently
15       logging to a file.
16
17       With i3-dump-log, you can dump the SHM log to stdout.
18
19       The -f flag works like tail -f, i.e. the process does not terminate
20       after dumping the log, but prints new lines as they appear.
21

EXAMPLE

23       i3-dump-log | gzip -9 > /tmp/i3-log.gz
