+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pflogd
+.Nd packet filter logging daemon
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm pflogd
+.Op Fl D
+.Op Fl d Ar delay
+.Op Fl f Ar filename
+.Op Fl s Ar snaplen
+.Op Ar expression
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a background daemon which reads packets logged by
+.Xr pf 4
+to the packet logging interface
+.Pa pflog0
+and writes the packets to a logfile (normally
+.Pa /var/log/pflog )
+in
+.Xr tcpdump 8
+binary format.
+These logs can be reviewed later using the
+.Fl r
+option of
+.Xr tcpdump 8 ,
+hopefully offline in case there are bugs in the packet parsing code of
+.Xr tcpdump 8 .
+.Pp
+.Nm
+closes and then re-opens the log file when it receives
+.Va SIGHUP ,
+permitting
+.Xr newsyslog 8
+to rotate logfiles automatically.
+.Va SIGALRM
+causes
+.Nm
+to flush the current logfile buffers to the disk, thus making the most
+recent logs available.
+The buffers are also flushed every
+.Ar delay
+seconds.
+.Pp
+If the log file contains data after a restart or a
+.Va SIGHUP ,
+new logs are appended to the existing file.
+If the existing log file was created with a different snaplen,
+.Nm
+temporarily uses the old snaplen to keep the log file consistent.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl d Ar delay
+Time in seconds to delay between automatic flushes of the file.
+This may be specified with a value between 5 and 3600 seconds.
+If not specified, the default is 60 seconds.
+.It Fl D
+Debugging mode.
+.Nm
+does not disassociate from the controlling terminal.
+.It Fl f Ar filename
+Log output filename.
+Default is
+.Pa /var/log/pflog .
+.It Fl s Ar snaplen
+Analyze at most the first
+.Ar snaplen
+bytes of data from each packet rather than the default of 96.
+The default of 96 is adequate for IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP headers but may
+truncate protocol information for other protocols.
+Other file parsers may desire a higher snaplen.
+.It Ar expression
+Selects which packets will be dumped, using the regular language of
+.Xr tcpdump 8 .
+.El
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width /var/run/pflogd.pid -compact
+.It Pa /var/run/pflogd.pid
+Process ID of the currently running
+.Nm pflogd .
+.It Pa /var/log/pflog
+Default log file.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Log specific tcp packets to a different log file with a large snaplen
+(useful with a log-all rule to dump complete sessions)
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# pflogd -s 1600 -f suspicious.log port 80 and host evilhost
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Display binary logs:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/pflog
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Display the logs in real time (this does not interfere with the
+operation of pflogd):
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Tcpdump has been extended to be able to filter on the pfloghdr
+structure defined in
+.Aq Ar net/if_pflog.h .
+Tcpdump can restrict the output
+to packets logged on a specified interface, a rule number, a reason,
+a direction, an ip family or an action.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width "reason match " -compact
+.It ip
+Address family equals IPv4.
+.It ip6
+Address family equals IPv6.
+.It ifname kue0
+Interface name equals "kue0"
+.It on kue0
+Interface name equals "kue0"
+.It rulenum 10
+Rule number equals 10.
+.It reason match
+Reason equals match.
+Also accepts "bad-offset", "fragment", "short", "normalize" and "memory".
+.It action pass
+Action equals pass.
+Also accepts "block".
+.It inbound
+The direction was inbound.
+.It outbound
+The direction was outbound.
+.El
+.Pp
+Display the logs in real time of inbound packets that were blocked on
+the wi0 interface:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0 inbound and action block and on wi0
