  <dl>
    <dt><em>log-id</em></dt>
    <dd>This is the id of the log, which is the SHA-256 hash of the log's public key,
    provided in hexadecimal format.  This string is 64 characters in length.</dd>

    <dt><em>record-id</em></dt>
    <dd>This is the record number in the database, as displayed by the <strong>dump</strong>
    sub-command, prefixed with <strong>#</strong>.  As an example, <strong>#4</strong>
    references the fourth record in the database.  (Use shell escaping as necessary.)</dd>

    <dt><em>/path/to/public-key.pem</em></dt>
    <dd>This is a file containing the log's public key in PEM format.  The public
    key is not stored in the database.  Instead, a reference to the file is stored.
    Thus, the file cannot be removed until the public key in the database is removed
    or changed.</dd>

    <dt><em>min-timestamp</em>, <em>max-timestamp</em></dt>
    <dd>A timestamp is a time as expressed in the number of milliseconds since the
    epoch, ignoring leap seconds.  This is the form of time used in Signed Certificate
    Timestamps.  This must be provided as a decimal number.
    <br>
    Specify <strong><code>-</code></strong> for one of the timestamps if it is unknown.
    For example, when configuring the minimum valid timestamp for a log which remains
    valid, specify <strong><code>-</code></strong> for <em>max-timestamp</em>.
    <br>
    SCTs received from this log by the proxy are invalid if the timestamp
    is older than <em>min-timestamp</em> or newer than <em>max-timestamp</em>.</dd>

    the output of this sub-command can be used to identify the affected
    record in other sub-commands.</dd>

    <dt>configure-public-key</dt>
    <dd>Add a log's public key to the database or set the public key for an
    existing entry.  The log's public key is needed to validate the signature
    of SCTs received by a proxy from a backend server.  (The database will
    be created if it does not yet exist.)</dd>

    <dt>configure-url</dt>
    <dd>Add a log's URL to the database or set the URL for an existing entry.
    The log's URL is used when submitting server certificates to logs in
    order to obtain SCTs to send to clients.  (The database will
    be created if it does not yet exist.)</dd>

    <dt>valid-time-range</dt>
    <dd>Set the minimum valid time and/or the maximum valid time for a log.
    SCTs from the log with timestamps outside of the valid range will not be
    accepted.  Use <code>-</code> for a time that is not being configured.
    (The database will be created if it does not yet exist.)</dd>

    <dt>trust</dt>
    <dd>Mark a log as trusted, which is the default setting.  This sub-command
    is used to reverse a <em>distrust</em> setting.  (The database will
    be created if it does not yet exist.)</dd>

    <dt>distrust</dt>
    <dd>Mark a log as distrusted.  (The database will be created if it does
    not yet exist.)</dd>

    <dt>forget</dt>
    <dd>Remove information about a log from the database.</dd>

  <p>Consider an Apache httpd instance which serves as a TLS server and a proxy.
  The TLS server needs to obtain SCTs from a couple of known logs in order to
  pass those to clients, and the proxy needs to be able to validate the signature
  of SCTs received from backend servers.</p>

  <p>First we'll configure the URLs for logs where server certificates are logged:</p>

  <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-sh">$ ctlogconfig /path/to/conf/log-config configure-url http://log1.example.com/
$ ctlogconfig /path/to/conf/log-config configure-url http://log2.example.com/
$ ctlogconfig /path/to/conf/log-config dump
Log entry:
  Record 1
  Log id         : (not configured)
  Public key file: (not configured)
  URL            : http://log1.example.com/
  Time range     : -INF to +INF

Log entry:
  Record 2
  Log id         : (not configured)
  Public key file: (not configured)
  URL            : http://log2.example.com/
  Time range     : -INF to +INF</pre>
</div>

  <p>Next we'll set the public key of a log where the certificate of our only
  backend server is published.  In this case it is the log with URL
  http://log2.example.com/ which has already been configured.</p>

  <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-sh">$ ctlogconfig /path/to/conf/log-config configure-public-key \#2 /path/to/conf/log2-pub.pem
$ ctlogconfig /path/to/conf/log-config dump
Log entry:
  Record 1
  Log id         : (not configured)
  Public key file: (not configured)
  URL            : http://log1.example.com/
  Time range     : -INF to +INF

Log entry:
  Record 2
  Log id         : (not configured)
  Public key file: /path/to/conf/log2-pub.pem
  URL            : http://log2.example.com/
  Time range     : -INF to +INF</pre>
