### Usage
Logs can be created via an entry in the configuration file in the section `log`:
``` ```
imag log --to work "Copying large amounts of data takes time" [log]
logs = ["work", "hobby", "music"]
default = "hobby"
``` ```
Everything which can be done with `imag-log` can also be done with The `default` key is required and the name which is used here _must_ appear in
`imag-diary`. the `logs` array.
In the above configuration snippet, the logs `work`, `hobby` and `music` are
created. The user may now log to one of these logs with:
```
imag log --to <logname> "Some message"
# or
imag log -t <logname> "Some message"
# or, to the default log:
imag log "Some message"
```
Logs can be read by naming the log:
```
imag log show work
```
which prints one log per line (including time it was logged).
