     2 It is now possible to pass parameters from the command line into log filters.

     3 This works in the same way for both sbs and sbs_filter commands.

     4 

     5 For example:

     6 

     7 sbs --filters=Foo[param1,param2,param3]

     8 

     9 sbs_filter --filters=Bar[value] < build.log

    10 

    11 

    12 Multiple filters with parameters can be specified if needed,

    13 

    14 sbs --filters=Foo[param1,param2,param3],Bar[value]

    15 

    16 

    17 In the 2.13.0 release there are two filters which take parameters:

    18 

    19 1. sbs_filter --filters=FilterComp[wizard/group] < log

    20 

    21 Here the parameter is (part of) a bld.inf path and the filter only prints

    22 parts of the log which are attributable to the matching component. In the

    23 example above, the log elements from any bld.inf which has "wizard/group" 

    24 as part of its path will be printed: normally, passing the full path name

    25 will guarantee that only one component matches.

    26 

    27 2. sbs_filter --filters=FilterTagCounter[info,recipe] < log

    28 

    29 Here the parameters are a list of the element names to count. This is a

    30 simple analysis filter that shows you how many instances of XMl elements

    31 are in a log and how many characters of body text they have.
