.SH NAME
waccess \- Quick And Dirty Web Log Analysis
.SH SYNOPSIS
waccess [-rs] string string ...
.SH DESCRIPTION

\'waccess\' is a quick way to check a web access log for particular
"hits" or accesses.  \'waccess\' will search the log looking for,
displaying, and counting all the accesses which contain any of the
strings you name on the command line.

\'waccess\' is not a replacement for a serious web log analysis tool,
but is useful for "quickie" lookups.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -r
Try to determine the hostname of each access by doing a reverse lookup
on the IP address. This forces the program to display each record as
it is discovered (the opposite of the -s option).

.TP
.B -s
Suppress display of the individual matching records and only show the
totals.  This forces the suppression of reverse lookups since they
wouldn't be displayed anyway (the opposite of the -r option).

.SH EXAMPLES

.B waccess myreport.pdf

Searches the web access log displaying all access records containing the
string \'myreport.pdf\'.  When log search is finished, \'waccess\' displays
the total number of records examined and how many matching entries were found.

.B waccess -r myreport.pdf

Searches the web access log displaying all access records containing the
string \'myreport.pdf\'.  This time, for each matching record, \'waccess\'
will try to figure out (and display) the hostname of the accessing machine 
via a reverse IP lookup.

.B waccess -s myreport.pdf

Look for and count records in the web access log containing \'myreport.pdf\',
but do not display them.  Only display the totals when the analysis is complete.


.SH OTHER
You must have a reasonably current copy of 'python' installed for \'waccess\'
to operate.

.SH BUGS AND MISFEATURES
None known as of this release.
