rolling(1) -- pipe logs into file rotation

rolling is a simple command line tool that outputs log files in a file-rotating directory. The tool was designed to adhere by the Unix Philosophy as much as possible. So all it does it write it's standard input into a directory with file rotation.

it will automatically delete the oldest log file in the directory to strictly enforce a maximum amount of space utilized by the directory. Use it to ensure that your logs never consume more than what you want of your disk space.

Usage

For convenience, it also outputs it's input verbatim so you can compose rolling easily via unix pipes.
