Pipe Support

[jtrip]

Hello, toolong looks very nice in my quick testing, thanks for making it!

The mentions of tail and less in the readme got me excited to try to use it as a pager for journalctl but that doesn't seem to work. In fact piping any text to it doesn't seem to work.

if I set:
export SYSTEMD_PAGER=/home/me/.local/bin/tl
and then run journalctl, I get the tl help output

also if I just pipe text from journalctl or cat I get the tl help output.

Thanks for reading!

I was just about to make this issue. Would love to be able to pipe kubectl logs -f or stern into toolong.

I second this use case as well: I have tried this out on kubectl logs and unfortunately being unable to read from pipes reduces the cases where this can be used a lot. Hopefully this feature to come in soon!

And tl <(journalctl) fails with "Illegal seek" 😄

That well fix it you can uninstall the pipe again install the pipe plugins

I don't understand what you're referring to.

Version 1.30 should have support for piping. It's a little experimental, let me know if you find any issues.
