# LNAV -- The Logfile Navigator
The log file navigator, lnav, is an enhanced log file viewer that
takes advantage of any semantic information that can be gleaned from
the files being viewed, such as timestamps and log levels. Using this
extra semantic information, lnav can do things like interleaving
messages from different files, generate histograms of messages over
time, and providing hotkeys for navigating through the file. It is
hoped that these features will allow the user to quickly and
efficiently zero in on problems.
The Log File Navigator, **lnav** for short, is an advanced log file viewer
for the small-scale. It is a terminal application that can understand
your log files and make it easy for you to find problems with little to
no setup.
