SIEVELOG(1)            DragonFly General Commands Manual           SIEVELOG(1)

NAME
     sievelog - syslog message filter

SYNOPSIS
     sievelog [-otD] [-P prof_file] [-R directory] <sievefile>

DESCRIPTION
     sievelog is a rules based message dispatcher. It reads newline-delimited
     messages on its standard input and uses a set of rules specified in
     sievefile.  to direct them to files or to email them. The rule syntax is
     documented in sievelog.conf(5).

     The options are as follows:

     -o      Activate the ruleset optimizer. This dynamically sorts the rules
             such that the most frequently matched rules are tried first.

     -t      Only do a syntax check of sievefile.

     -D      Activate debugging output. This is only sane when used in
             combination with -t.

     -P prof_file
             Dump profiling data to prof_file when a SIGINFO is received.

     -R directory
             Restrict the rules in sievefile to only writing into directory or
             its descendants.

BUGS
     The -P option can only write to a file, not a named pipe or Unix domain
     socket.
