+ timeprefix reads stdin line by line and prefixes the current
+ time (at the point the line has been fully read) to each line
+ and prints the prefixed line to stdout.
The timestamp is written in both decimal boot time and
human-readable real time (in UTC), with the boot time first so
- that muliple generated log files can merged into one with
- sort --merge.
+ that multiple generated log files can be merged into one with
+ sort -m.
timeprefix also marks when the program started and terminated.
