A minimal history is a history entry without log and prelude.
The corresponding config entry is ffmpeg.log.max_minimal_history. This value is
added on top of the ffmpeg.log.max_history value. I.e. the latest max_history
entries contain the log and prelude, and the remaining entries don't have the
log and prelude. In total there are max_minimal_history+max_history history
entries.
If you want no history, set both values to 0.
If you want only full history, set max_minimal_history to 0.
If you want only minimal history, set max_history to 0.
Because it doesn't make sense to replace the date placeholder at
process creation, it has to be replaced at every start of the process.
On process creation only the static placeholders (such as process ID)
are replaced. Dynamic placeholders (so far only "date") are not
replaced. On process start, a callback has been introduced that gives
the chance to change the command line. This is the point where
the restreamer replaces the date placeholders.
