💖 Swatch...hrottle(3pm) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Swatch...hrottle(3pm) page, and yeah it lives under the User Contributed Perl Documentation umbrella. it's giving very niche, very perl, very "your sysadmin bestie wrote this at 2am". let's get into it ✨

💅 NAME 💅

Swatchdog::Throttle — a Perl extension for throttling and thresholding in swatchdog(1). periodt. that's the whole name section. short, sweet, iconic 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the literal code, copied exactly so you can steal it for your own thing:

         use Swatchdog::Throttle;

         throttle(
                  extra_cuts => @array_of_regular_expressions,
                  hold_dhms => @DHMS,
                  key => 'log'|<regex>|<user defined>,
                  log_msg => <message>,
                  threshold => <n>,
                  time_from => 'realtime'|'timestamp',
                  time_regex => <regex>,
                 );

no cap, that's the whole vibe. load it, call throttle, pass it a bunch of named args. slay 💅

🦋 SWATCH SYNTAX 🦋

and when you're doing it inside swatch itself, the syntax is literally this, character for character:

         throttle threshold=<n>,\
                  delay=<hours>:<minutes>:<seconds>,\
                  key=log|regex|<regex>

yes bestie, backslashes are doing the line-continuation thing. it's giving "I know my shell" energy 🐚✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so... this section is literally empty in the original. like, not a single sentence. no description. no lore. nothing. it's giving blank page, main character silence, mysterious mysterious 💀

so we're not gonna invent anything, because that would be fake news. moving on bestie 🫶
