# rolllog(1p)

DNSSEC-Tools utility to write messages to the DNSSEC rollover log file

## NAME

rolllog - DNSSEC-Tools utility to write messages to the DNSSEC rollover log file

## SYNOPSIS

```
  rolllog -loglevel <level> <log_message>
```

## DESCRIPTION

The **rolllog** program writes log messages to the DNSSEC rollover log file. **rolllog** does not actually write the messages itself; rather, it sends them to the **rollerd** rollover daemon to write the messages.  **rollerd** keeps track of a logging level, and only messages of that level or higher are written to the log file.

## OPTIONS

The following options are recognized:

- **-loglevel level**

  Logging level of this message.  The valid levels are defined in **rollmgr.pm**(3).   This option is required.

- **-help**

  Display a usage message.

- **-Version**

  Displays the version information for **rolllog** and the DNSSEC-Tools package.
