SYNOPSIS

       httplog [-z] [-u USER] [-g GROUP] [-s SYMLINK] [-b BUFFER_SIZE] LOGFILE

DESCRIPTION

       This program makes Apache act similar to Microsofts' IIS  webserver  in
       its logging style (as opposed to every logfile entry in one single huge
       logfile).  This allows you to easily maintain your  webserver  logfiles
       for  statistics  packages  in an easily organizable manner without user
       intervention.

USAGE

       It takes one argument at the command line, the path to a logfile  as  a
       template.   The  template pathname can use any valid special characters
       permitted in strftime(3).  Other optional arguments can be appended  to
       the command line.

       Optional  filename  parsing  flags that may be used alongside the strf-
       time(3) flags are:

       %1     replaced with systems host name.

       %2     replaced with systems domain name.

       %3     replaced with systems fully qualified name.

OPTIONS

       -h     output short help message and exit.

       -z     Compress logfiles with zlib once logfile  rollover  period  hits
              and new logfile is generated.

       -u USER
              Run as specified user rather than current user (typically root).

       -g GROUP
              Run as specified group  rather  than  current  group  (typically
              root).

       -s SYMLINK
              Create  a symlink to the currently active logfile.  This symlink
              does not have to be in  the  same  directory  as  the  currently
              active  logfile,  and  %  expandoes do not expand in the symlink
              filename.

       -b BUFFER_SIZE
              Use specified buffer size to buffer  logfile  data  rather  than
              default  buffer  size  defined by your system at compile time by

       CustomLog   "|/usr/local/sbin/httplog   -z    -u    http    -g    users
       /var/log/http/%b/%m%d%Y.log" combined
       CustomLog  "|/usr/local/sbin/httplog  /var/log/http/%b/%m%d%y.log" com-
       bined
       CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/httplog /var/log/%D/referrer.log" referrer
