✨ AUTHOR ✨

flogtool is a tool that ships with foolscap, created by Brian Warner. king behavior honestly 👑

and this manual page was written by Stephan Peijnik <debian@sp.or.at>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others). the way she wrote a whole manpage and then said "no gatekeeping, anyone can use it"? iconic 🫶

okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 💖 the source and version notes say this one's dated September 21, 2008, and it's the FLOGTOOL(1) manual — so go forth, tail those logs, gather those incidents, and slay 💅✨🌸
