Log Rotate with Timestamp of lines, open source C code

logrotate

Log Rotate based on filesize with Timestamp of lines, open source C code (Apache License, Version 2.0). Do not require any external code/lib.

How works:

Read from stdin and output lines with timestamp in an output file (pathname), rotating them when file size exceeds specified size in bytes.

About versions (for more infos check CHANGELOG.md)

v0.2.0 - first version that can use - like a fork in project ggrandes/logrotate -every thing is OK to use     **explain- will create just 2 files. ex: file.log when full create file.log.old and when full switch to the first file again file.log
v0.1.0 - dont recomend to use, is forks about old project - have a lot problemas and bugs to fix
