generate_logs utility for chromeOS

[opensource_freak]

generate_logs was a shell script all the time.

I recently did run my automation on a R61 OS and collecting logs from multiple DUTs using generate_logs failed for my script. 

When I checked, it is a C utility now with a nice --output option for collecting logs.

Is it that the generate_logs is going to be this c utility going forward and will it be same for all release/milestone OS for all projects?

Yes, more precisely a C++ utility.

We cannot predict the future, but the answer is almost surely "no".
It's likely to remain a C++ utility, but it's also likely to keep
changing to adapt to circumstances, such as new logs being produced,
changing requirements, security improvements, etc.

Hi Luigi,
Thanks a lot for the info. My bad...it is c++ utility now.

The best thing is: it gives a nice --output option and hopefully will not change.

Thanks again for the info.
