tscat is a timestamping filter.

tscat is a simple filter that reads line from standard input, prepends a timestamp, and writes to standard output.

Timestamps can be absolute (current time of day), relative to process start time, or deltas since the previous line (previous timestamp).

Installation:

To build:

make

(There's no configure script, since tscat should work out-of-the-box on
any modern Unix. Note that it requires GNU getopt.)

To install to /usr/local:

make install

To install to a different location, override PREFIX and/or DEST_DIR, e.g.

make install PREFIX=/usr DEST_DIR=/tmp/install-root
