Why not make formatting similar to linux/xorg logs, e.g. [ 31.897] (**) Option "XkbLayout" "us" [ 31.897] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "<default keyboard>" (type: KEYBOARD, id 7) [ 11485.404] (II) 3rd Button detected: disabling emulate3Button [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.0-ARCH (tobias@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.6.1 20110819 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 30 08:53:25 CEST 2011 [ 0.000000] Command line: root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/625db1f5-9b51-4d2d-acb7-6726f4d7e199 ro [...] [ 15.096862] NET: Registered protocol family 10 [ 16.792594] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: plugged DVI-I-2 [ 26.054186] eth0: no IPv6 routers present A way to convert those timestamps to localtime or time delta[1] post-mortem via dmesg(8) would be good, too.
