    #gets the options
    my %opts=();
    getopts('efhtn:g:ivlFGJ', \%opts);
    
    #init it
    my $clog=Log::Colorize::Helper->new;
    
    #set tail/head stuff if needed
    if ( ! defined( $opts{n} ) ){
        $opts{n}=10;
    }
    if ( $opts{t} ){

METHODS

new

Creates a new object. This method will never error.

    my $clog=Log::Colorize::Helper->new;

colorize

args hash

bzip2

The log is compressed using bzip2.

echo

Print the command used.

follow

A Perl boolean for if it should follow while tailing.

Default is false.

If set to true and tail is not specified it is set to 10.

How many lines to print at the top of the file.

The default is 0, false. This means head will not be used.

Can't be combined with tail.

grep

An optional string to grep for.

grep-first

A Perl boolean to run grep infront of the head/tail instead of after.

The default is false.

grep-insensitive

This is a Perl boolean value for if grep should be case insensitive.

The default is false.

grep-invert

This is a Perl boolean value for if grep should be inverted or not.

The default is false.

gzip

The log is compressed using gzip.

less

A Perl boolean value for if it should pass it to 'less -R'

log

The log file to colorize.

tail

How many lines to print at the bottom of the file.

The default is 0, false. This means tail will not be used.

Can't be combined with head.

    #gets the options
    my %opts=();
    getopts('efhtn:g:ivlFGJ', \%opts);
    
    #init it
    my $clog=Log::Colorize::Helper->new;
    
    #set tail/head stuff if needed
    if ( ! defined( $opts{n} ) ){
        $opts{n}=10;
    }
    if ( $opts{t} ){
        $opts{t}=$opts{n};
    }
    if ( $opts{h} ){
        $opts{h}=$opts{n};
    }
    
    $clog->colorize(
        {
                echo=>$opts{e},
                log=>$ARGV[0],
                head=>$opts{h},
