# savelog - save a log file
#    Copyright (C) 1987, 1988 Ronald S. Karr and Landon Curt Noll
#    Copyright (C) 1992  Ronald S. Karr
# Slight modifications by Ian A. Murdock <imurdock@gnu.ai.mit.edu>:
#	* uses `gzip' rather than `compress'
#	* doesn't use $savedir; keeps saved log files in the same directory
#	* reports successful rotation of log files
#	* for the sake of consistency, files are rotated even if they are
#	  empty
# More modifications by Guy Maor <maor@debian.org>:
#       * cleanup.
#       * -p (preserve) option
# 
# usage: savelog [-m mode] [-u user] [-g group] [-t] [-p] [-c cycle]
#		 [-j] [-C] [-d] [-l] [-r rolldir] [-n] [-q] file...
#	-m mode	  - chmod log files to mode
#	-u user	  - chown log files to user
#	-g group  - chgrp log files to group
#	-c cycle  - save cycle versions of the logfile	(default: 7)
#	-r rolldir- use rolldir instead of . to roll files
#	-C	  - force cleanup of cycled logfiles
#	-d	  - use standard date for rolling
#	-D	  - override date format for -d 
#	-t	  - touch file
#	-l	  - don't compress any log files	(default: compress)
#       -p        - preserve mode/user/group of original file
#	-j        - use bzip2 instead of gzip
#	-J        - use xz instead of gzip
#	-1 .. -9  - compression strength or memory usage (default: 9, except for xz)
#	-x script - invoke script with rotated log file in $FILE
#	-n	  - do not rotate empty files
#	-q	  - be quiet
#	file 	  - log file names
#
# The savelog command saves and optionally compresses old copies of files.
# Older version of 'file' are named:
#
#		'file'.<number><compress_suffix>
#
# where <number> is the version number, 0 being the newest.  By default,
# version numbers > 0 are compressed (unless -l prevents it). The
# version number 0 is never compressed on the off chance that a process
# still has 'file' opened for I/O.
#
# if the '-d' option is specified, <number> will be YYMMDDhhmmss
#
# If the 'file' does not exist and -t was given, it will be created.
#
# For files that do exist and have lengths greater than zero, the following 
# actions are performed.
#
#	1) Version numered files are cycled.  That is version 6 is moved to
#	   version 7, version is moved to becomes version 6, ... and finally
#	   version 0 is moved to version 1.  Both compressed names and
#	   uncompressed names are cycled, regardless of -t.  Missing version 
#	   files are ignored.
#
#	2) The new file.1 is compressed and is changed subject to 
#	   the -m, -u and -g flags.  This step is skipped if the -t flag 
#	   was given.
#
#	3) The main file is moved to file.0.
#
#	4) If the -m, -u, -g, -t, or -p flags are given, then the file is
#          touched into existence subject to the given flags.  The -p flag
#          will preserve the original owner, group, and permissions.
#
#	5) The new file.0 is changed subject to the -m, -u and -g flags.
#
# Note: If no -m, -u, -g, -t, or -p is given, then the primary log file is 
#	not created.
#
# Note: Since the version numbers start with 0, version number <cycle>
#       is never formed.  The <cycle> count must be at least 2.
#
# Bugs: If a process is still writing to the file.0 and savelog
#	moved it to file.1 and compresses it, data could be lost.
#	Smail does not have this problem in general because it
#	restats files often.
