= timefilter =

This script reads stdin and filters it thought to stdout based on the time. This enables a very noisy output to be sampled in small chunks.

An example of where this is useful - analysing the strace output of a long running process. Rather than storing the full strace output this script allows you to capture a few second long intervals at regular intervals.
