Now with kernel logging and log rotation built-in. It can both receive from and send to remote syslog servers. Since v2.0 it also includes support for RFC5424 with the new syslogp() API extension from NetBSD for clients. Package: libsyslog-dev Priority: optional Section: libdevel Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, libsyslog0 (= ${binary:Version}) Description: new syslogp() API from NetBSD, development files Development files for building applications that use the syslogp() API from NetBSD. . This package includes the static library, header files, and docs. Package: libsyslog0 Priority: optional Section: libs Provides: libsyslog Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Description: new syslogp() API from NetBSD for use with sysklogd This library provides the new syslogp() API from NetBSD. It provides applications with the full RFC5424 logging API. The intended use is with the sysklogd package. Package: logger Priority: optional Section: admin Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, libsyslog0 (= ${binary:Version}) Conflicts: bsdutils Description: enter messages into the system log This version of logger is recommended for use with sysklogd. It makes use of the new syslogp() API for RFC5424 style logs, e.g. MSGID, strucutred data (SD), etc. . The BusyBox, or util-linux, logger tools can also be used, but are limited to RFC3164 style messages. . Note: on Debian this conflicts with bsdutils, which is the main package for providing logger. Use that.
