[Hackrf-dev] Install Question

I need the simple log to file capability the rtl_power application
advertises.  What I am trying to do is create a log file of time,
frequency, and signal strength from a band of the spectrum without delving
to deep into GRC.   Thank you for answering my question, but is there any
tools in the osmocom libraries that can do this?
