+<h1> The <tt>tipidee-logaggregate</tt> program </h1>
+
+<p>
+ <tt>tipidee-logaggregate</tt> is a very ad-hoc, quick-and-dirty log aggregator
+for tipidee.
+</p>
+
+<div id="interface">
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+</div>
+
+<pre>
+ tipidee-logaggregate [ -4 | -6 ]
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> tipidee-logaggregate reads a series of log entries on its stdin. </li>
+ <li> It aggregates the logs, and prints what it finds to stdout. For every
+client IP that hit the server, it prints that IP, followed by all the URLs
+that the client requested. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<div id="log-format">
+<h2> Log format </h2>
+</div>
+
+<p>
+ tipidee-logaggregate was written for a very specific situation and is only
+provided as a convenience. No effort has been made to try and make it generic,
+so it expects a precise log format:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> The <tt>log</tt> directive in <tt>/etc/tipidee.conf</tt> must contain at
+least the following: <tt>log start ip request resource</tt> </li>
+ <li> The log lines must start with a TAI64N label. This is achieved by running
+<a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-log.html">s6-log</a> as the logging program
+with the <strong><tt>t</tt></strong> directive. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+ If these conditions are not met, tipidee-logaggregate will not work properly.

+<h2> Notes </h2>
+</div>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> If you feed tipidee-logaggregate logs starting from a random moment in time
+when tipideed has already been serving, some warnings are normal and expected.
+They correspond to the already-connected clients that tipidee-logaggregate cannot
+identify. Unless they repeat for a large number of lines, these warnings are harmless. </li>
+</ul>
