Typescript how to output logs

Question

I have a problem where my typescript complier is running out of memory and crashing. I want to have a look at what is going on. The documentation says:

--verbose   boolean
Enable verbose logging

However this throws an error on "typescript": "^4.2.4":

tsc --verbose
error TS5023: Unknown compiler option '--verbose'.

Does anyone know how I turn on logging? Thanks

Took me while to figure this out because the error message is super unhelpful. Now they've finally updated the error message to be clearer, and it says that the --verbose flag has to be used with --build. So just run this:

tsc --build --verbose
