ilts reads stdin and writes to stdout. It reads each line, then outputs, to stdout, a timestamp, " - ", then the line.
optionally ilts will also write to a log file, in addition to stdout. This occurs if -p is used. -n may be used in conjuction with -p to write to a log file only.
-p|--printf-format format
format to print each line of input. defaults to "%s - %s\n"
-p|--prefix filepath
the use of -p turns on logging to the file prefixed with filepath.
-n|--no-stdout
the use of -n turns off writing to stdout and may not be used without -p
-t|--time
the use of -t appends the current time to filepath in the format YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS in the current timezone
-u|--utc
the use of -u in conjuction with -t (or -T) changes the time to UTC
-T|--time-format Go Time Format
the use of -T turns on letting the user specifying the Format
-s|--suffix fileext
the use of -s turns on a file extension added to the filepath after the timestamp (if enabled)
-a|--append
the use of -a appends to the log file rather than truncating the file
-S|--start-line
-E|--end-line
the use of -S or -E enables a start and end line. these are useful in case the app generates no output, or delay a long time befor the first line of output or after the last line of output. The messages are "Execution begins" and "Execution ends"
