About lnav
lnav is a log file viewer for the terminal that allows developers to merge, search, filter, and query log files directly from the command line. It automatically detects file formats and unpacks compressed files on the fly, requiring no server setup or configuration. The tool is built to handle large log files efficiently, processing them with performance that can exceed standard terminal utilities. lnav includes an online help system and operation previews to help users learn its features. It provides a SQLite interface for querying log data.
lnav is developed by tstack and is written in C++. The tool is distributed under the BSD 2-Clause license, making it free to use and modify for both open source and proprietary projects.
