| 2 | A rule using this extension will match until this limit is reached |
| 3 | (unless the `!' flag is used). It can be used in combination with the |
| 4 | .B LOG |
| 5 | target to give limited logging, for example. |
| 6 | .TP |
| 7 | .BI "--limit " "rate" |
| 8 | Maximum average matching rate: specified as a number, with an optional |
| 9 | `/second', `/minute', `/hour', or `/day' suffix; the default is |
| 10 | 3/hour. |
| 11 | .TP |
| 12 | .BI "--limit-burst " "number" |
| 13 | Maximum initial number of packets to match: this number gets |
| 14 | recharged by one every time the limit specified above is not reached, |
| 15 | up to this number; the default is 5. |
