Log retention - which commands? How to set permanently?

[eyalzvi]

The documentation mentions log retention policies (–log-dir-max-files etc.), but which commands accepts those flags?

Is there a way to set the flags permanently in the config file and or policies?

I guess kopia set policy ..., although I don’t see it in the --help info

I’m not an expert in GoLang, but it looks from source code that
it should be given directly to kopia --log-dir-max-files=1 kopia_command ...

I can’t see it in code or docs, so I think it should be used as an argument to kopia

There’s more useful options: --help-long that extracts almost all
