SQUIDVIEW(1)

🦑 SQUIDVIEW — like, the manual page, bestie ✨

okay so this is SQUIDVIEW(1), from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally your girl's guide to watching squid do its thing. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

squidview — a program to monitor your squid's access.log 🦑👀

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

squidview

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just launch it. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so real talk, this manual page documents briefly the squidview application. 📝

and not me telling you the lore: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. instead, it has a brief online help — just Press "h". 💛

squidview is a ncurses-based application which lets you view and monitor your squid's access.log in a very comfortable way. 😌✨ and like, additionally? you can create reports and statistics. it's giving main character energy fr fr. 👑

🌸 NOTES 🌸

Squidview is configured by the contents of the directory ~/.squidview/. 🗂️ On first execution it creates the necessary files. lowkey magical tbh. ✨

the Debian-version has been modified to match the default log-path of Debian's squid package: /var/log/squid/access.log. 📂

if you have the permission to read this file (ie be in group proxy), squidview should work out of the box. 🫶

but if it does NOT work?? 😭 then file a bug against this package (squidview, obviously :-)). like, obviously. 💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

okay bestie, hear me out:

• no options — this program ignores any command-line parameters. not one. not ever. it simply does not care. 🙈

aaaand that's a wrap! 🦋 this lil page is from squidview, dated Feber 18, 2004 💫 (yes the date says "Feber", we don't fix it, we respect it), and it's the SQUIDVIEW(1) page. slay, periodt. 💅✨
