+dmesg log plugin for thin-edge.io
+
+IMPORTANT: Some dmesg implementations don't support date/time filters, so it will fallback to
+calling dmesg without any filtering should the datetime filters fail for any reason.
+
+The log plugin allows users to access kernel messages from dmesg.
+
+Usage:
+  $0 list
+      List all log types supported by this plugin
+
+  $0 get <log-type> [options]
+      Fetch logs for the given facility (<log-type>)
+
+Options for "get":
+  --since <timestamp>   Show logs since the given timestamp (seconds since epoch)
+  --until <timestamp>   Show logs up to the given timestamp  (seconds since epoch)
+  --help                Show this help message and exit
+
+Examples:
+  $0 list
+  $0 get all --since 1696250000 --until 1696260000
