💖 VZLOGGER(8) 💖

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is the manual page for vzlogger, living in the System management commands corner of your system. It's a whole tool for reading and logging measurements from a huge variety of smart meters and sensors, and honestly? she's iconic for it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

vzlogger — a tool to read and log measurements of a wide variety of smart meters and sensors 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vzlogger [-c conf] [-o log] [-f] [-l] [-p port] [-r] [-v] [-h] [-V]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this is the man page for the vzlogger program. It briefly documents the parameters — think of it like the sparknotes version. The main documentation is available online, so if you want the full lore you're gonna have to go there. 📚✨

Also, if you wanna know which protocols are supported, just hit -h — you get the whole list. Easy.

Here's every parameter, no gatekeeping:

  • -c, --config — this sets the configuration file to read from. The default is /etc/vzlogger.conf. Heads up tho: command line options override configuration file entries. So whatever you type in the terminal wins, periodt. 💅
  • -o, --log — this sets the file to log output to. Where do the logs go? Wherever you tell her to go. 🎀
  • -f, --foreground — this prevents detaching from the terminal and lets the program run in the foreground. Basically: she stays right there with you, no sneaking off in the background. 🫶
  • -l, --httpd — this activates a local interface tiny HTTPd which serves live readings. little server, big energy. ✨
  • -p, --httpd-port — this sets the TCP port the HTTPd is listening on. 🔥
  • -r, --register — this registers a device. 💖
  • -v, --verbose — this enables verbose output. she will tell you everything. 😭
  • -h, --help — this shows the help. (and, lowkey, the list of supported protocols — see above!) 🌈
  • -V, --version — this shows the version of vzlogger. ⭐
