  Description     : Apache logfile program with strftime(3), gzip
compression, symlink and memory buffer support.

(Include the long description here.)

It takes one argument at the command line, the path to a logfile as a
template.The template pathname can use any valid special characters
permitted in strftime(3).  Other optional arguments can be appended to the
command line. If you want to have your logfiles gzipped because of size
constraints, you can use the `-z' option to have httplog gzip all logfiles
once it's done writing all data to them (when a rollover period hits and a
new logfile is to be created). You may have a symlink to the currently
active logfile by using the `-s' option and specifying a filename to be
used as the symlink.

This program makes Apache act similar to Microsofts' IIS webserver in its
logging style (as opposed to every logfile entry in one single huge logfile).

Because of the buffer option added since v1.5, httplog may also be usefull
for extremely large sites that get thousands of hits per second, and
typically disable logging to save their hard drives from dying.  The
buffer size option can be used to create an extremely large buffer in ram
so that logfiles would not be flushed as often as if it were in line
buffering mode, and in essence, could prolong the life of your valuable
drives by decreasing their activity.
