Gopher Log Analyzer 3.5

What is it:
glog will allow you to analyze your gopher log files. Hopefully
supplying you will useful reports/plots/histograms. It is fairly
easy to use, with plenty of options. It can generate almost any kind
report that you would want. This is probably going to be the last
version of glog, at least by me. There are lots of other nice utilities
that do this very same thing. Plus I am applying to graduate schools now.
It should compile with any standard ansi compiler, and now it should even
work under VMS. (thanks Dennis R. Sherman)
To compile: (assuming gcc)
1) Edit glog35.c and look at the configuration section. There are
four options that you can play with, but the defaults should
be fine.
2)
gcc glog35.c -o glog
glog -h will display the options :).
Examples:
% glog35 -sn -gO < gopher.log | more
Print out a domain graph sorted by the domain name field to stdout
% glog35 -pT < gopher.log | more
Generate a gnuplot file with type information
% glog35 -aY -sH -rD -i gopher.log -o gopher.out
Generate a report sorted by the reverse number of hits,
average the data as if there was a years worth, and save it
to a file called gopher.out
Tested on:
Amiga DOS, Solaris 2.3, Ultrix 4.2A
gcc 2.3.3 and higher was used on all platforms.
Features:
* The command line is parsed as the reports/plots/histograms are generated,
so that it is possible to change options for each separately. But options
are NOT reset for each new one.
* Produces reports/plots/histograms on the [D]ata, [H]osts, day of the [W]eek,
data [T]ypes, T[I]me, D[O]main and [M]onth/date sorted (ie. sorted by date).
* Can sort reports by name forward/backward or by hits forward/backward
* Produces detailed reports on any thing you can produce a normal
report for. Yes, you can even produce a host detail report of a
hosts report. (But it doesn't do you much good :)
* Change the width of the reports.
* You can specify the filename for plots, it defaults to gopher. (The
program appends a .dat, and and .run to the name)
* You can request as many plots as you want. (But remember to change the
filename or you will overwrite the last plot)
* The program is now a lot easier to add new types of reports to, you
only need to add 3 short routines, a variable, and edit 2 functions.
(Well, maybe it is simple for me. :)
* Can select starting and ending month. (Sorry no wrap around)
* Average/Estimating can be done with the -aX option. Possible values
for "X" are [E]verything (default), [Y]ear, [M]onth, [W]eek, [D]ay, and [H]our
