iCodepage

  Example: -iCodepage:1245
 
recurse
  Values: recursion level (number)
  Default: 0
  Description: Max subdirectory recursion level.

minDateMod
  Values: date/time (in "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss" format)
  Default: not specified
  Description: Minimum file last modified date, in local time coordinates.
  Details: When this parameter is specified, the NCSA input format processes only log files that have been modified after the specified date.

iCheckpoint
