NAME
     slogencrypt  ---  Encrypts  existing  plain  text	log  files  using the {{
     site.product.short_name }} secure logging environment.

SYNOPSIS
	    slogencrypt [options] [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
     The slogencrypt utility encrypts plain text log files using an existing se-
     cure logging environment. Using this utility, log	files  obtained  from  a
     previous  installation  of  syslog-ng  OSE or another logging system can be
     transferred to a secure logging environment. The order of the  log  entries
     is preserved. Encrypting plain text log files using an existing secure log-
     ging environment, requires the current encryption key to be supplied in or-
     der to preserve consistency.

   EXAMPLE: A GENERAL CALL SEQUENCE
	    slogencrypt -k <key file> -m <MAC file> <new key file> <new MAC file> <plain text log> <output file> [counter]

ARGUMENTS
     <new key file>
	 The  file that containa the new encryption key after successful encryp-
     tion.

     <new MAC file>
	 The file receiving the new message authentication code (MAC) of the se-
     cure encrypted destination after encryption. In case an  existing	file  is
     supplied, new entries are appended.

     <input log file>
	 The  plain text log file that is encrypted using the secure logging en-
     vironment.

     <output log file>
	 The file that contains the encrypted  log  entries  from  the	supplied
     plain text log file after encryption.

     counter
	 The current log entry counter of the secure encrypted destination after
     encryption.  This	is  required  if the log entries to be encrypted are ap-
     pended to an existing secure encrypted destination

OPTIONS
     --key-file or -k
	 The current host key from the system where the encryption is performed.

     --mac-file or -m
	 The current MAC file from the system where the encryption is performed.
