Switch -ILOG[name] - log errors to file


Write error messages to the file rar.log created in WinRAR folder. You may view contents of this file using "View log�" command in Options menu. It is possible to specify another log file name instead of the default rar.log in the switch, for example, -ilogc:\log\backup.log. If the specified name does not include the path, the log file will be created in %APPDATA%\WinRAR folder.

If the option "Log errors to file" in General settings dialog is enabled, error messages will be written to rar.log even without -ilog switch.

By default, log file uses UTF-16 little endian encoding, but it can be changed with -sc<charset>g switch, such as -scag for native single byte encoding.
