WT-10727 made the dump command from the wt util tool interactive when the -e option is specified.
It seems that this is a great candidate to be a command on its own which could be called live:
./wt live file:<file_name>
It would be great to support the following different options supported by the dump command:
-c checkpoint
dump as of the named checkpoint (the default is the most recent version of the data)
-j dump in JSON format
-p dump in human readable format (pretty-print). The -p flag can be combined with -x. In this case, raw data elements will be formatted like -x with hexadecimal encoding.
-t timestamp
dump as of the specified timestamp (the default is the most recent version of the data)
-x dump all characters in a hexadecimal encoding (by default printable characters are not encoded). The -x flag can be combined with -p. In this case, the dump will be formatted similar to -p except for raw data elements, which will look like -x with hexadecimal encoding.
