            <para><command>@PACKAGE@</command> is a simple daemon to periodically
            call wflogs to convert firewall logs to html.</para>

            <para>The <citerefentry> <refentrytitle>@PACKAGE@.conf</refentrytitle>
            <manvolnum>5</manvolnum> </citerefentry> file specifies the syslog files
            to be monitored, and the regular expressions (<citerefentry>
            <refentrytitle>regex</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>7</manvolnum>
            </citerefentry>) to be applied to new lines in those files.  Each matching
            line is written to a temp file used as input by wflogs.</para>

            <para>Considering syslog files in particular, these are normally rotated
            via logrotate.  <command>@PACKAGE@</command> properly detects and
            handles this case by closing the old file, and reopening the newly
            created file.</para>
