| 20 | .SH NAME | |
| 21 | EXIGREP \- Search Exim's main log | |
| 22 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 23 | .B exigrep | |
| 24 | .I [\-l] pattern [log file] ... | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 27 | The | |
| 28 | .B exigrep | |
| 29 | utility is a Perl script that searches one or more main log files for | |
| 30 | entries that match a given pattern. | |
| 31 | When it finds a match, it extracts all the log entries for the relevant | |
| 32 | message, not just those that match the pattern. | |
| 33 | Thus, | |
| 34 | .B exigrep | |
| 35 | can extract complete log entries for a given message, or all mail for a given | |
| 36 | user, or for a given host, for example. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | The | |
| 39 | .I \-l | |
| 40 | flag means \(oqliteral\(cq, that is, treat all characters in the pattern as | |
| 41 | standing for themselves. | |
| 42 | Otherwise the pattern must be a Perl regular expression. | |
| 43 | The pattern match is case-insensitive. | |
| 44 | If no file names are given on the command line, the standard input is | |
| 45 | read. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | If the location of a | |
| 48 | .B zcat | |
| 49 | command is known from the definition of ZCAT_COMMAND in Local/Makefile, | |
| 50 | .B exigrep | |
| 51 | automatically passes any file whose | |
| 52 | name ends in COMPRESS_SUFFIX through | |
| 53 | .B zcat | |
| 54 | as it searches it. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | .SH BUGS | |
| 57 | This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff | |
| 58 | than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches | |
| 59 | would be greatly appreciated. | |
