Unity Logcat - Shell-Bash

Unity Logcat is a tool used by programmers to view and debug logs generated by Unity applications. It is a command-line interface that allows you to monitor and filter the log output produced by your Unity project.

Getting Started

To use Unity Logcat, you'll first need to open a command-line interface or terminal window. From there, navigate to the root directory of your Unity project. Once you're there, you can use the command adb logcat to view the log output.

Here's an example:

adb logcat Unity:I *:S

This command will show you all log messages with the tag "Unity" and silence any messages with other tags. You can customize this command to filter messages by severity, tag, or process ID.

Using Filters

To filter log output, you'll need to use some additional options with the adb logcat command. Here are a few examples:

# Show all log messages with the "Unity" tag
adb logcat Unity:I *:S

# Show only log messages with the "Error" severity
adb logcat *:E

# Show log messages for a specific process ID
adb logcat --pid=<pid>

You can also use regular expressions to filter log messages. For example, to show all messages with the tag "MyTag", you can use the following command:

adb logcat My.*:D

This command will show all messages with tags that start with "My" and have a severity of "Debug".

Conclusion

Unity Logcat is a powerful tool for debugging Unity applications. By using the command-line interface, you can view and filter log output in real-time, making it easier to track down bugs and optimize performance.
