+   * live tailing of log files
+   * syntax highlights common web server log formats
+   * as fast to open a multiple-gigabyte file as it is to open a tiny text file
+   * support for JSONL files: lines are pretty printed
+   * opens .bz and .bz2 files automatically
+   * merges log files by auto detecting timestamps
