information. is this a 2.2 only feature?

I'm pretty new to Android and I don't know why it's undocumented at
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#outputformat but
here is
the output of integrated help from my Android 2.1 phone:
>adb shell logcat --help
Usage: logcat [options] [filterspecs]
options include:
-s Set default filter to silent.
Like specifying filterspec '*:s'
-f <filename> Log to file. Default to stdout
-r [<kbytes>] Rotate log every kbytes. (16 if unspecified). Requires -f
-n <count> Sets max number of rotated logs to <count>, default 4
-v <format> Sets the log print format, where <format> is one of:
brief process tag thread raw time threadtime long
-c clear (flush) the entire log and exit
-d dump the log and then exit (don't block)
-g get the size of the log's ring buffer and exit
-b <buffer> request alternate ring buffer
('main' (default), 'radio', 'events')
-B output the log in binary
filterspecs are a series of
<tag>[:priority]
where <tag> is a log component tag (or * for all) and priority is:
V Verbose
D Debug
I Info
W Warn
E Error
F Fatal
S Silent (supress all output)
'*' means '*:d' and <tag> by itself means <tag>:v
If not specified on the commandline, filterspec is set from ANDROID_LOG_TAG
If no filterspec is found, filter defaults to '*:I'
If not specified with -v, format is set from ANDROID_PRINTF_LOG
or defaults to "brief"
Also, it was available in SDK Tools r5 (don't know for previous versions, it's
my
first Android phone)

I don't really know git, but it seems that option has been there since the
beginning:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?
p=platform/system/core.git;a=blob;f=logcat/logcat.cpp;h=d9ca131b64fcc3d1774068dc
