DESCRIPTION
The cachefslog command displays where CacheFS statistics are being logged. Optionally, it sets where CacheFS statistics are being logged,
or it halts logging for a cache specified by cachefs_mount_point. The cachefs_mount_point argument is a mount point of a cache file system.
All file systems cached under the same cache as cachefs_mount_point will be logged.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking the Logging of a directory.
The example below checks if the directory /home/sam is being logged:

example# cachefslog -f /var/tmp/samlog /home/sam
/var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam
Example 3: Verifying the change of a logfile.
The example below verifies the change of the previous example:
example% cachefslog /home/sam
/var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam
Example 4: Halting the logging of a directory.
