NAME

       cronosplit - split log files into cronolog-compatible files

SYNOPSIS

       cronosplit --template=TEMPLATE [--print-invalid] [--help] [--version] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       cronosplit  is a simple program that reads lines from a set of input log files, which must be in Common Log Format or NCSA Combined/XLF/ELF
       Format and write each lines to an output files, the name of which is constructed using the template specified and timestamp  from  the  the
       line.   The  template  uses  the  same format specifiers as the Unix date(1) command (which are the same as the standard C strftime library
       function).

Options
       cronosplit accepts the following options and arguments:

       --template=TEMPLATE
	      specifies the template for the output log files (using the format specifiers described below).

       --print-invalid
	      print invalid log file entries to the standard error stream.

       --utime
	      update modification time of output file according to last parsed log entry.

       --verbose
	      print additional status messages to the standard error stream.

       --debug
	      print debug messages to the standard error stream.

       --help print a help message and then exit.

       --version
	      print version information and exit.

Template format
       Each character in the template represents a character in the expanded filename, except for date	and  time  format  specifiers,	which  are
       replaced by their expansion.  Format specifiers consist of a `%' followed by one of the following characters:

       %      a literal % character

       n      a new-line character

       t      a horizontal tab character

       Time fields:

       H      hour (00..23)

       I      hour (01..12)

       p      the locale's AM or PM indicator

       M      minute (00..59)

       S      second (00..61, which allows for leap seconds)

       X      the locale's time representation (e.g.: "15:12:47")

       Z      time zone (e.g. GMT), or nothing if the time zone cannot be determined

       Date fields:

       a      the locale's abbreviated weekday name (e.g.: Sun..Sat)

       A      the locale's full weekday name (e.g.: Sunday .. Saturday)

       b      the locale's abbreviated month name (e.g.: Jan .. Dec)

       B      the locale's full month name, (e.g.: January .. December)

       c      the locale's date and time (e.g.: "Sun Dec 15 14:12:47 GMT 1996")

       d      day of month (01 .. 31)

       j      day of year (001 .. 366)

       m      month (01 .. 12)

       U      week of the year with Sunday as first day of week (00..53, where week 1 is the week containing the first Sunday of the year)

       W      week of the year with Monday as first day of week (00..53, where week 1 is the week containing the first Monday of the year)

       w      day of week (0 .. 6, where 0 corresponds to Sunday)

       x      locale's date representation (e.g. today in Britain: "12/04/96")

       y      year without the century (00 .. 99)

       Y      year with the century (1970 .. 2038)

       Other specifiers may be available depending on the C library's implementation of the strftime function.
