Logging emerge output

I think it would be really usefull to have a log of the output of "merge".
Because when i emerge --update world, i can't read the einfo because of output of the compilation of the next package.

something like /var/log/emerge/PACKAGE_NAME/{info,compil,error}
info contains einfo output
compil contains compilations output
error contains the standard input errors

I would expect you can either 'emerge foo > foo.out' if you don't need to read the output in real-time. Or you can write to stdout and a file at the same time. I forget what the symbol is for that, it's in the bash man page. I'd look it up and tell you, but I'm at work on my Windows machine.

(Most of the following assumes you're using bash, BTW)
Send output to a logfile:

Thank you!

But i already know about all of this...

But it doesn't solve the problem of "einfo"

The usefull informations printed at the end of the emerge of a package.

example:

grep -i einfo emerge.log?

Most einfos are preceded by a certain colour star.

You could try something like this (I think, my bash is a little rusty

)

Thank you all

In fact i didn't want to know how to keep the output of emerge.

I wanted to know if it would be usefull that emerge has an options (--output) to separate compile, from info, from errors.

i know that you can do everything with grep, sed, tee, awk, cut, tr and so on.

what would that color code be, or where could i find a list of the color codes? man grep? man bash?

I'm in the need of a script to do the same as requested by sebest, and cooked up the following:

grep -H will do it. You can probably modify your script to do:

Thanks, that was fast! Next step is to figure out how to determine what is relevant for output, but that's for some other day - I think I can manage with this one for now but will post any improvements I get around to.
