# textlog

textlog -- Starts the Cascade TextLogger.

## Synopsis

textlog [`-aDFhvVX`] [`-d `domain``] [`-n `name``] [`-o `output``] [`-p `prefix``] [`[-f] `cfgfile``]

## Arguments

`-a`

  Append to output files instead of erasing them on startup.

`-d `domain``

  Set the Cascade DataHub domain name.

`-D`

  Do not detach from the console. Run in the foreground.

`-f `cfgfile``

  Specify the starting configuration file. This can be done using the `-f` prefix or by putting the name of the configuration file at the end of the list of options, or both.

`-F`

  Force log entries to be flushed to file immediately. (default is buffered for files and unbuffered for stdout).

`-h`

  Print a help message and exit.

`-n `name``

  Declare this name with the Cascade NameServer.

`-o `output``

  Set the default output file. This takes effect before the configuration file is read, and will be overridden by any settings in the configuration file.

`-p `prefix``

  Set the global prefix name. This name overrides the default output file name in the `%F` format directive.

`-v`

  For the purpose of debugging, print commands sent to textlog during run-time to `STDOUT` before executing them.

`-V`

  Print the version number.

`-X`

  Exit immediately (usually used with `-V`).
