# archiverd
`archiverd` is a lightweight daemon designed to monitor and archive files in a specified directory. It's particularly useful in scenarios where files are periodically created or updated, and there's a need to archive older versions automatically. This tool is ideal for managing log files, packet captures, and similar data.
## Usecase
Consider a folder where new files are regularly added or updated. For instance:
```
$ ls test/
testfile1.txt
```
With `archiverd`, when `testfile2.txt` is created, the older file (`testfile1.txt`) is automatically archived. . `archiverd` can be especially beneficial for maintaining orderly log files or packet captures.
This is the folder structure after `testfile2.txt` file is created:
```
$ ls test/
testfile1.txt.tar.gz
testfile2.ttt
```
## Usage
```
Usage: archiverd [OPTIONS] --directory
Options:
-d, --directory Specify the directory to monitor.
-m, --max-files Maximum number of archived files to keep.
-e, --exclude Define patterns to exclude files from archiving.
-h, --help Display this help message.
-V, --version Show the version of the archiverd.
