xlogfile, or the extended logfile, is a compile-time option for NetHack that makes the game log more data at the end of a game.

The xlogfile began as a patch for NetHack 3.4.3. It was incorporated into the mainline in NetHack 3.6.0. It is an optional feature, and can be removed by commenting out the definition of XLOGFILE in include/config.h.

File format

The data is saved into a file named xlogfile in the same directory as the normal logfile. Each line contains several field=value pairs, separated by a colon (or a tab in some variants, which may also add extensions such as conductX and achieveX with text-format conducts and achievements). For example:

version=3.4.3:points=55590:deathdnum=0:deathlev=7:maxlvl=12:hp=-14:maxhp=92:deaths=1:deathdate=20090502:birthdate=20090501:uid=5:role=Tou:race=Hum:gender=Fem:align=Neu:name=gibbas:death=killed by a mumak:conduct=0xf86:turns=16662:achieve=0x400:realtime=18452:starttime=1241195443:endtime=1241214565:gender0=Fem:align0=Neu

Most of the fields are self-explanatory, or are the same as in the normal logfile. Exceptions are:

• conduct: A bitfield in hexadecimal format:
  • 0x001: Foodless
  • 0x002: Vegan
  • 0x004: Vegetarian

  • 0x800: Genocideless
• achieve: A bitfield in hexadecimal format:
