DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the anteater commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
anteater is a log analyser for MTA logfiles (for example sendmail). The
tool is written in 100% C++ and very easy to customize. Input, output,
and the analysis are modular class objects with a clear interface.
Currently there are modules for reading the syslog format of sendmail
that do up to seven useful analyses and write the result in plain ASCII
or HTML, to stdout or to files.
