UULOG 💖 the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to the uulog page from the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, the "commands you just type" zone, iykyk). sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

uulog — display the UUCP log file. that's it. that's the whole job. she logs, you look. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uulog [-n number] [-sf system] [-u user] [-DSF] [-I file] [-X debug]

yes she's a little dense in the flags department. we love her anyway. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, uulog is a program that displays the log file for the Taylor UUCP service. that's literally the vibe. you ran UUCP stuff, it wrote a log, and now you wanna see it. no cap. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -n, --lines number — show the given number of lines from the end of the log. like, just the last lil slice. 🍰
  • -s, --system system — print entries for the named system.
  • -f system, --follow=system — follow entries for the named system. note the two different shapes here bestie, one takes it as a separate arg and one glues it on with an =. not me double-checking that. 😭
  • -u, --user user — print entries for the named user.
  • -F, --follow — follow entries for any system. capital F, all the systems, main character energy fr fr. 👑
  • -S, --statslog — show the statistics file.
  • -D, --debuglog — show the debugging file.
  • -X, --debug debug — set the debugging level.
  • -I, --config file — set the configuration file to use.
  • -v, --version — print the software version and exit. bye 👋
  • --help — print a help screen and exit.

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so. according to comments in the source, this is a pretty bad implementation of uulog. 😭 the source said it, not me. it only takes a single -s and/or -u switch.

so don't come for her with a whole stack of -s flags and expect the world. she takes one. that's the deal. 🙈

💜 AUTHOR 💜

this manual page is a quick write-up for Debian done by Kevin Kreamer <kkreamer@etherhogz.org>, by making a manpage out of uulog --help. iconic honestly, we stan a "just turn the help output into a manpage" moment. 🫶

and that's the whole page bestie, you ate. 💅✨ go read your logs. UULOG(1) — General Commands Manual, signing off. 🦋🎀💖
