NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS SEE ALSO AUTHOR
exigrep - program to extract information from exim logs
exigrep [-l? pattern [logfile? ...
exigrep is a Perl script, provided in the util directory, that extracts from one or more log files all entries relevant to any message whose log entries contain at least one that matches a given pattern. The pattern match is case-insensitive. Thus one can search for all mail for a given user or a given host, for example. If no logfiles are specified, standard input is assumed.
The -l flag means 'literal', that is, treat all characters in the pattern as standing for themselves. Otherwise the pattern must be a Perl regular expression. If no file names are given on the command line, the standard input is read.
