to between 64K and 256M for log buffer sizes. Individual log buffer ids
such as main, system, ... override global default.
-- Pruning filter is of form of a space-separated list of [~][UID][/PID]
- references, where '~' prefix means to blacklist otherwise whitelist. For
- blacklisting, UID or PID may be a '!' to instead reference the chattiest
- client, with the restriction that the PID must be in the UID group 1000
- (system or AID_SYSTEM).
+- Pruning filter rules are specified as UID, UID/PID or /PID. A '~' prefix indicates that elements
+ matching the rule should be pruned with higher priority otherwise they're pruned with lower
+ priority. All other pruning activity is oldest first. Special case ~! represents an automatic
+ pruning for the noisiest UID as determined by the current statistics. Special case ~1000/!
+ represents pruning of the worst PID within AID_SYSTEM when AID_SYSTEM is the noisiest UID.
