managelogs is a log processing utility primarily intended to be used in conjunction with Apache's piped logfile feature. It is an alternative to the well known rotatelogs and cronolog programs.

Its primary purpose is to solve the 'log filesystem full' issue by purging the oldest log files when the total log size exceeds a given value.

It also provides a lot of useful features like on-the-fly compression, symbolic links to the current and archive log files, setuid to a given user, writing to multiple output channels, and more.

managelogs is written in C and uses the Apache Portable Runtime library for low-level system access, ensuring optimal portability across most operating systems.
