lnote Manual

Synopsis

lnote provides a simple way to add an arbitrary note to the log and notification system. While most of the information included in the stl output log is automatically generated, lnote allows you to provide context, to make manual log analysis easier.

lnote depends on the following components:

• argparse, part of the Python standard library as of 2.7, and installable separately for some earlier versions.
• socket, part of the Python standard library, used to include the hostname in the log output.

• sauron, to provide an interface to Sauron by way of emacsclient.
• wc_track, to provide local configuration information.
