Package: debianutils
Version: 4.3.4
Severity: minor
Hi,
The savelog(8) manual contains the following text:
1) Version numbered files are cycled. Version file.2 is moved to
version file.3, version file.1 is moved to version file.2, and so on.
Finally version file.0 is moved to version file.1, and version
file is deleted.
^^^^^
I guess the above sentence should read "and version file.cycle is
deleted". Otherwise you couldn't move the file into file.0 in step 3).
-D dateformat
override date format, in the form of [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]
I've just checked that `savelog -d -D "MMDDhhmmCCYY.ss" test' simply creates a
file named 'test.MMDDhhmmCCYY.ss'.
/usr/bin/syslog contains lines like:
DATUM=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
D) DATUM=$(date +$OPTARG) ;;
so in my opinion man page should just document that the format passed to
-D option can be in fact any accepted by the date(1) command.
Regards,
robert
