-# Output rsyncd log messages for a single module. The log file can be in
-# either syslog format or rsync's own log-file format.
+# Filter the rsync daemon log messages by module name. The log file can be
+# in either syslog format or rsync's own log-file format. Note that the
+# MODULE_NAME parameter is used in a regular-expression match in order to
+# allow regex wildcards to be used. You can also limit the output by
+# directory hierarchy in a module. Examples:
+#
+# logfilter foo /var/log/rsyncd.log # output lines for module foo
+# logfilter foo/dir /var/log/syslog # limit lines to those in dir of foo
