El' Cid - aka Caller ID, aka cid

Just a quick lil proggy to log caller id from your modem. The log file is written in cvs (comma seperated variable) format so you can easily parse into other programs, such as cgi scripts for web display. Named after my bird, Sid(ney).

Installation

1. edit the header file and make sure it agrees with your configuration (cid.h)
2. make

and that's it. no installation :)

Usage

./cid
Nothing special, just run it and each call will be written into the log file

logfile format (cid.log)

DATE,TIME,NAME,NUMBER,UNIX_TIME where

        DATE = 4 digit date in MMDD format
        TIME = 4 digit time in 24hr format
        NAME = Name of caller if available or the following:
                'P' = private
                'O' = out of area
        NUMBER = 10 digit format with area code + prefix + suffix
        UNIX_TIME = Time in time_t format as defined by TIME(2)
