💖 NAME 💖

ok so this is the manual page for man(1) — the Profanity one, bestie, not the other guy — and specifically it's all about /log, the Profanity /log command. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

literally the whole vibe of this command is: manage profanity log settings. that's it, that's the job. your logs, your rules, your settings. slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/log where

/log rotate on|off

/log maxsize <bytes>

/log shared on|off

/log level INFO|DEBUG|WARN|ERROR

like. pick one. that's the whole menu. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • where — ok so you want to know where your log file is even living? iconic question. this shows you the current log file location. ✨
  • rotate on|off — turns log rotation on or off. it's default on, no cap. but here's the tea: it does not take effect if you specified a filename yourself when starting Profanity. so if you did that, this setting is giving… nothing. 💀
  • maxsize <bytes> — with rotate enabled, this is the max log size. defaults to 10485760 (that's 10MB bestie). keep your logs from eating your whole disk, we love a boundaries moment. 🔥
  • shared on|off — share logs between all instances. default: on, periodt. when it's off, the process id will be included in the log filename (so every instance gets its own lil name tag 🎀). Does not take effect if you specified a filename yourself when starting Profanity. same deal as rotate. 🙈
  • level INFO|DEBUG|WARN|ERROR — set the log level. default is INFO. and listen — Only works with default log file, not with a user provided log file during startup via -f. so if you came in with your own -f file, this is not it. 😭
fr fr, remember: rotate and shared both get completely ignored if you passed your own filename when starting Profanity. don't be out here confused wondering why nothing's changing. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! ✨ this is from Profanity version 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08, and it's the man(1) page for the Profanity XMPP client. go forth and log responsibly, you absolute main character. 💜🌸🦋
