The `klogd` daemon listens to kernel message sources and is responsible
for prioritizing and processing operating system messages. The `klogd`
daemon can run as a client of `syslogd` or optionally as a standalone
program. `klogd` can now be used to decode EIP addresses if it can
determine a `System.map` file.
The optional `klogd` daemon, enabled with `configure --with-klogd`,
supports the GLIBC `klogctl()` API to read kernel log messages and can
also decode EIP addresses on Linux Oops, provided a `System.map` file.
The `syslogd` daemon can run stand-alone without `klogd`, this is the
