NAME
     uncat  -  continuously reads stdin, splits up the data either by timeout or
     number of bytes read to process it

SYNOPSIS
     uncat [-vo] [-t seconds] [-s size] prog

DESCRIPTION
     uncat continuously reads stdin and repeatedly processes the data either af-
     ter seconds timeout or maximal number of bytes size read.	To  process  the
     data,  uncat  starts  prog  and  feeds the data into prog's standard input.
     prog's standard output is redirected to standard error.  uncat never writes
     to standard output.

     prog consist of one or more arguments.

     If prog exits non-zero, uncat prints an error message,  discards  the  data
     and continues to read stdin.

     Note that uncat is not crash proof.

     uncat is used to run the socklog-notify service.

OPTIONS
     -v     verbose. Print verbose messages to stderr.

     -o     once.  Exit  on  end  of input. Normally uncat continues waiting for
	    data on standard input, even on end of file.

     -t seconds
	    timeout. Set the timeout to seconds seconds. Default is 300.

     -s size
	    Set the maximal number of bytes to size.  Default is 1024.

SIGNALS
     If uncat receives a TERM signal, it starts to process the	data  in  memory
     and exits as soon as possible.

     uncat also does this on end of input if the -o option was given.

EXIT CODES
     uncat returns 0 after receiving a TERM signal.  uncat returns 111 on error.
