DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the gklog program.
gklog will read from a log and analyze it, depending on the options
the user passes to it. It reads each line of the log file, compares it
with the patterns at the config file 'till it finds a matching one.
If so, it prints that line with the specified color, else it prints it
with normal color. Use '-' as <log_name> to read from stdin.
