Faked/Flexible Syslog
Abstract
OSSP fsl offers the syslog(3) API otherwise provided by the Standard C Library
(libc). Instead of writing to the syslogd(8) process, it uses the powerful OSSP l2 logging capabilities. It is a drop-in link-time
replacement which enables any syslog(3) consumer to take advantage of OSSP l2 by just linking this library in before libc. The
source code of the program remains unchanged. The only requirement for each
program is companion OSSP cfg based configuration
snippet which maps the openlog(3) program indentification to an OSSP l2 channel tree specification.
This library is a small wrapper around OSSP l2 and OSSP cfg and was originally invested to allow third-party
(non OSSP) programs to leverage from the logging flexibility
provided by OSSP l2. Its development was prompted by the
OpenPKG project where no program is
allowed to directly use the original syslog(3) facility in order to allow
multiple installation instances.
