pure-statsdecode(8)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so pure-statsdecode is the Pure-FTPd manual page in section 8, and it's literally here to show human-readable dates from a "stats" logfile. That's the whole vibe, bestie. 💅

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

Two ways to run it, no cap:

pure-statsdecode filename
pure-statsdecode -

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This program decodes Pure-FTPd's "stats" log files and converts timestamps into human-readable dates. It's giving "translator for timestamp goo," and honestly? Iconic. ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• - — this dash means read the standard input, bestie. Like, pipe stuff in and let it eat. 💜
• filename — this is a log file produced with pure-ftpd -O ftpstats:/path/to/logfile. Yes, that exact -O flag setup, fr fr. 🫶

---

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

To run this program the standard way, type:

pure-statsdecode /var/log/pureftpd.log > /tmp/pureftpd.humanlog

Alternatively, you can run it as:

cat /var/log/pureftpd.log | pure-statsdecode - | gzip --best > /tmp/pureftpd.humanlog.gz
