okay bestie, so this is the manual page for mergelog, living in the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood man setup. she's a little one, but she works, and honestly? iconic behaviour.
π NAME π
mergelog β a fast tool to merge http log files by date π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
mergelog logfile1 logfile2 ...
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so like. the mergelog program is a tool that merges http log files by date, and it only fucks with files in Β΄Common Log FormatΒ΄. no cap.
where does the result go? straight to standard output, babes. nowhere else. π
and why would you even want this? bestie. imagine you've got multiple hosts doing round-robin DNS and your logs are scattered across every single one of them like confetti at a gender reveal π β mergelog is literally here to squish them into a single log file for you. it's giving organiser. it's giving main character energy. periodt.
