.SH NAME
.B tlcs
\- execute command and tag stdout/stderr lines
.SH USAGE
.B tlcs [-h] [-c] [-o STDOUT_PREFIX] [-e STDERR_PREFIX] [--] COMMAND [ARG1...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Execute a command and tag the output of the stdout and stderr streams, line by
line, using tl(1) under the hood. Add -c when writing to a terminal to color
the lines.
.P
Option -h gives help. Specify a stdout prefix with -o (default "stdout: "),
and/or a stderr prefix with -e (default "stderr: "). Option -c prints stdout
lines in green and stderr lines in red if the respective streams are writing to
appropriate terminals. Remaining arguments are assumed to be a command and its
arguments.
