🌸 NAME 🌸

octo_dispatcher — the Octopussy Dispatcher program, no cap ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

octo_dispatcher is the program the Octopussy Project uses to receive syslog lines and dispatche them into device directories. yes, "dispatche". we respect the original spelling in this house 💅

and the flow is literally this:

(syslog --> <device>/Incoming/YYYY/MM/DD/msg_HHhMM_SS.log)

like, syslog comes in, and it lands in <device>/Incoming/YYYY/MM/DD/msg_HHhMM_SS.log. that's the whole vibe check. iconic behavior fr fr 🎀
