File input and output commands

Specify the input file using the -i=<filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the input

file. Specify the output file input using the

– o=<filename> command, where <filename> is the

name of the output file.

Log files

The -l=<filename> or --logfile=<filename> option records information output on the

command line to the specified log file.

If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file. This allows multiple tools to use the same

log file to record information. Use this option to record the output of a utility.

The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified file. Each log file begins with

a time stamp and utility name. For example:

YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS <utilname> - <output text>

The following is an example of the logging behavior:

2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option1=on

2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option2=on

2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option3=off
