file filename—Name of the file to receive the tracing operation. Enclose the name within quotation marks. All files are placed in the directory /var/log.
files number—(Optional) Maximum number of trace files. When a trace file named trace-file reaches its maximum size, it is renamed trace-file.0, then trace-file.1 and so on, until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten.
 |
Note: If you specify a maximum number of files, you must also specify a maximum file size with the size option. |
- Range: 2 through 1000 files
- Default: 10 files
flag—Tracing operation to perform. To specify more than one tracing operation, include multiple flag statements.
- all—All tracing operations.
- configuration—All configuration events.
- cryptographic-address—Cryptographically generated address events.
- protocol—All protocol processing events.
- rsa—RSA events.
match—(Optional) Specify a regular expression to match the output of the trace file you want to log.
no-remote-trace—Disable remote tracing globally or for a specific tracing operation.
no-world-readable—(Optional) Prevent any user from reading this log file.
size size—(Optional) Maximum size of each trace file, in kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB). When a trace file named trace-file reaches this size, it is renamed trace-file.0. When the trace-file again reaches its maximum size, trace-file.0 is renamed trace-file.1, and trace-file is renamed trace-file.0. This renaming scheme continues until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten.
world-readable—(Optional) Allow any user to read this log file.
