How to enable time information when using adb logcat

[tony]

When using DDMS,the time is included together with the log,but how can
I get same information using:
abd logcat

[Christopher Tate]

$ adb shell
$ logcat --help
Usage: logcat [options] [filterspecs]
options include:
-s Set default filter to silent.
Like specifying filterspec '*:s'
-f <filename> Log to file. Default to stdout
-r [<kbytes>] Rotate log every kbytes. (16 if unspecified). Requires -f
-n <count> Sets max number of rotated logs to <count>, default 4
-v <format> Sets the log print format, where <format> is one of:

brief process tag thread raw time threadtime long

-c clear (flush) the entire log and exit
-d dump the log and then exit (don't block)
-g get the size of the log's ring buffer and exit
-b <buffer> request alternate ring buffer
('main' (default), 'radio', 'events')
-B output the log in binary
filterspecs are a series of
<tag>[:priority]

where <tag> is a log component tag (or * for all) and priority is:
V Verbose
D Debug
I Info
W Warn
E Error
F Fatal
S Silent (supress all output)

'*' means '*:d' and <tag> by itself means <tag>:v

If not specified on the commandline, filterspec is set from ANDROID_LOG_TAGS.
If no filterspec is found, filter defaults to '*:I'

If not specified with -v, format is set from ANDROID_PRINTF_LOG
or defaults to "brief"

You're probably looking for "adb logcat -v time".
