NCIDROTATE.CONF(5)

✨ NCIDROTATE.CONF ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to the ncidrotate.conf manual page, section 5, living in the File Formats Manual 💖 — this is the whole vibe of the config file, let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ncidrotate.conf — the ncidrotate configuration file, periodt ✨

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the ncidrotate.conf file is literally where all the configuration info for ncidrotate lives, and ncidrotate is the lil program that rotates the cidcall.log file 🔄 no cap.

The ncidrotate.conf file gets 3 types of lines and that's it, that's the whole menu:

• blank line — ignored 🙈 like it's not even there bestie
• comment line, beginning with # — also ignored 💀 the # makes it invisible
• Variable=Argument — the actual main character ✨

There is only one variable you should be changing: Lines2keep 👑

Defaults:

RotateOff=0

⚠️ The other variables should not be changed, fr fr. See ncidrotate.conf for a complete list of variables to set and what the default values are 👀

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Keep 10 lines in cidcall.log after rotation:

Lines2keep=10

Do not rotate (this allows the cidcall.log file to continue growing 📈):

RotateOff=1
