ROLLLOG(1)

📦 version 2.2.3, in arch rolling

🎀 rolllog(1) — the DNSSEC-Tools rollover-log messenger 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to rolllog (that's rolllog from section 1 of the manual, mwah) — the DNSSEC-Tools utility that writes messages to the DNSSEC rollover log file. slay. let's get into it ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rolllog -loglevel <level> <log_message>

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie: rolllog writes log messages to the DNSSEC rollover log file. but — plot twist — rolllog does not actually write the messages itself. nope. it sends them to the rollerd rollover daemon, and rollerd does the writing. main character energy honestly 👑

and rollerd keeps track of a logging level, and only messages of that level or higher get written to the log file. so like... vibe check on your message before it gets in. lowkey iconic.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's what rolllog recognizes, bestie:

  • -loglevel level — the logging level of this message. the valid levels are defined in rollmgr.pm(3) — go look, iykyk. this option is required, fr fr, no skipping it 🙈
  • -help — displays a usage message. your lil' helper 🎀
  • -Version — displays the version information for rolllog and the DNSSEC-Tools package. two for one, ate 💅
