## NAME

           log - write a stream to a rotating log file

## SYNOPSIS

           log dir

## DESCRIPTION

           log  reads  a stream from its stdin, and writes the stream
           to a file in the specified dir.

           Every hour, the current log file is closed, a new  one  is
           opened, and an older log file is deleted.

## OPTIONS

           dir    The  directory to which the log files will be writ-
                  ten.

## BUGS

           There is no way  to  change  the  rotation  interval  (one
           hour),  the  number of log files that are kept (3), or the
           log filenames used (NWR-*.raw).
