Its purpose is to run as a cgi-program and parse a web page template containing special <\s-1RRD::\s0 tags. \fBrrdcgi\fR will interpret and act according to these tags. In the end it will printout a web page including the necessary \s-1CGI\s0 headers. .PP \&\fBrrdcgi\fR parses the contents of the template in 3 steps. In each step it looks only for a subset of tags. This allows to nest tags. .PP The argument parser uses the same semantics as you are used from your c shell. .IP "\fB\-\-filter\fR" 8 .IX Item "--filter" Assume that rrdcgi is being run as a filter and not as a cgi. .SS "Keywords" .IX Subsection "Keywords" .IP "\s-1RRD::CV\s0 \fIname\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::CV name" Inserts the \s-1CGI\s0 variable of the given name. .IP "\s-1RRD::CV::QUOTE\s0 \fIname\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::CV::QUOTE name" Inserts the \s-1CGI\s0 variable of the given name but quotes it, ready for use as an argument in another \s-1RRD::\s0 tag. So even when there are spaces in the value of the \s-1CGI\s0 variable it will still be considered as one argument. .IP "\s-1RRD::CV::PATH\s0 \fIname\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::CV::PATH name" Inserts the \s-1CGI\s0 variable of the given name, quotes it and makes sure the it starts neither with a '/' nor contains '..'. This is to make sure that no problematic pathnames can be introduced through the \&\s-1CGI\s0 interface. .IP "\s-1RRD::GETENV\s0 \fIvariable\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::GETENV variable" Get the value of an environment variable. .Sp .Vb 1 \& .Ve .Sp might give you the name of the remote user given you are using some sort of access control on the directory .IP "\s-1RRD::GOODFOR\s0 \fIseconds\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::GOODFOR seconds" Specify the number of seconds this page should remain valid. This will prompt the rrdcgi to output a Last-Modified, an Expire and if the number of seconds is \fInegative\fR a Refresh headers. .IP "\s-1RRD::INCLUDE\s0 \fIfilename\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::INCLUDE filename" Include the contents of the given file into the page returned from the cgi .IP "\s-1RRD::SETENV\s0 \fIvariable\fR \fIvalue\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::SETENV variable value" If you want to present your graphs in another time zone than your own, you could use .Sp .Vb 1 \& .Ve .Sp to make sure everything is presented in Universal Time. Note that the values permitted to \s-1TZ\s0 depend on your \s-1OS.\s0 .IP "\s-1RRD::SETVAR\s0 \fIvariable\fR \fIvalue\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::SETVAR variable value" Analog to \s-1SETENV\s0 but for local variables .IP "\s-1RRD::GETVAR\s0 \fIvariable\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::GETVAR variable" Analog to \s-1GETENV\s0 but for local variables .IP "\s-1RRD::TIME::LAST\s0 \fIrrd-file\fR \fIstrftime-format\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::TIME::LAST rrd-file strftime-format" This gets replaced by the last modification time of the selected \s-1RRD.\s0 The time is \fIstrftime\fR\-formated with the string specified in the second argument. .IP "\s-1RRD::TIME::NOW\s0 \fIstrftime-format\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::TIME::NOW strftime-format" This gets replaced by the current time of day. The time is \fIstrftime\fR\-formated with the string specified in the argument. .Sp Note that if you return : from your strftime format you may have to escape them using \e if the time is to be used as an argument to a \s-1GRAPH\s0 command. .IP "\s-1RRD::TIME::STRFTIME\s0 \fISTART|END\fR \fIstart-spec\fR \fIend-spec\fR \fIstrftime-format\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::TIME::STRFTIME START|END start-spec end-spec strftime-format" This gets replaced by a strftime-formatted time using the format \&\fIstrftime-format\fR on either \fIstart-spec\fR or \fIend-spec\fR depending on whether \fI\s-1START\s0\fR or \fI\s-1END\s0\fR is specified. Both \fIstart-spec\fR and \fIend-spec\fR must be supplied as either could be relative to the other. This is intended to allow pretty titles on graphs with times that are easier for non rrdtool folks to figure out than \*(L"\-2weeks\*(R". .Sp Note that if you return : from your strftime format you may have to escape them using \e if the time is to be used as an argument to a \s-1GRAPH\s0 command. .IP "\s-1RRD::GRAPH\s0 \fIrrdgraph arguments\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::GRAPH rrdgraph arguments" This tag creates the \s-1RRD\s0 graph defined in its argument and then gets replaced by an appropriate .Ve .Sp Note that \f(CW%s\fR stands for the filename part of the graph generated, all directories given in the \s-1PNG\s0 file argument will get dropped. .IP "\s-1RRD::PRINT\s0 \fInumber\fR" 8 .IX Item "RRD::PRINT number" If the preceding \fB\s-1RRD::GRAPH\s0\fR tag contained and \fB\s-1PRINT\s0\fR arguments, then you can access their output with this tag. The \fInumber\fR argument refers to the number of the \fB\s-1PRINT\s0\fR argument. This first \fB\s-1PRINT\s0\fR has \fInumber\fR 0. .SH "EXAMPLE 1" .IX Header "EXAMPLE 1" The example below creates a web pages with a single \s-1RRD\s0 graph. .PP .Vb 9 \& #!/usr/local/bin/rrdcgi \& \& RRDCGI Demo \& \&
