This manual page was written by Joe Nahmias <joe@nahmias.net> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). It was converted to xml format by Carl Byington <carl@five-ten-sg.com>.

TODO

The binary debug log file is generally much larger than the .pst file, so we need to switch to ftello/fseeko there also to handle files larger than 2GB.
