Records and reports on visitor information.

Synopsis

• visitor_info ?-option value -option value ..? counter_name

Description

The visitor_info command was written as a supplement to the NeoWebScript counter commands. It is something of a hybrid between the NeoTrack system and named counters.

Visitor_info records: a grand total, daily totals, hits from remote_hosts and hits from referring URLs.

The options and their values are described below.

-function function

The -function option can be set to:

record - Tells visitor_info that you wish to record information on the user hitting your page. This is the default function.

report - Tells visitor_info that you want a report of the current hits that have been stored.

-show ?option,option, ..?

The show option is used in conjunction with the report function to tell visitor_info what you would like to be displayed in the report. There are four options you can ask to be displayed:

grandTotal - The grand total of hits to counterName

dailyTotals - The daily totals of hits to counterName

hosts - The remote hosts that have hit counterName

referers - The referer URLs that have hit counterName
