This is the continuation of the original Debian/Ubuntu syslog daemon,
|

updated with full [RFC3164][] and [RFC5424][] support from NetBSD and
|

FreeBSD. The package includes the `libsyslog.{a,so}` library and a
|

`syslog.h` header file replacement, two system log daemons, `syslogd`
|
||||
and `klogd` (optional), and one command line tool called `logger`.

|

libc, uClibc), `libsyslog` must be used in your application to unlock

the new [RFC5424][] `syslogp()` API.

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
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|

The included `logger` tool can be used from the command line, or script,
|

to send RFC5424 formatted messages using `libsyslog` to `syslogd` for

local or remote logging.

|

Main differences from the original sysklogd package are:
|
||||
|
||||
- `klogd` no longer built by default (optional) `syslogd` is stand-alone
|
||||
- The separate `klogd` daemon is no longer part of the sysklogd project
|
||||
- *Major* command line changes to `syslogd`, for compatibilty with *BSD
|
||||
- Supports `include /etc/syslog.d/*.conf` directuve, see example .conf
|
||||
- Built-in log-rotation support, with compression by default, useful for
