firecat: indexing and concatenation



Hello one and all.

There is some new stuff in CVS. Firstly one can now concatenate many
elog files together in to one big file by just doing:

 # firecat *.elog > big.elog

There is also support to create indexes for the elog files. The indexes
are there to allow for blisteringly fast filtering of the data. To build
the index just do:

 # firecat -i foo.elog

The index will be foo.elog.idx. This is all just academic jibba jabba at
the moment as there is no tool to actually do the filtering yet.

I will send an update to the list when firecat is capable of this. Which
should not be too long now.
