Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

syslog

Introduction

This egg provides access to the unix system logger using the syslog-api.

Documentation

[procedure] (syslog priority fmt . args)

Write a message to the syslogdaemon with the given priority. See priorities for a list of provided priority-constants.

[procedure] (openlog identity options facility)

Open a connection to the system logger. Identity is prepended to every message. The option-argument specify flags which control the operation of openlog and subsequent calls to syslog. See options for a list of provided option-constants. Options can be or'ed together. Facility sets the facility the logmessages will have. See facilities for a list of provided facilities. The use of openlog is optional. You can use syslog right away without calling openlog.

[procedure] (closelog)

Closes the connection to the system logger.

[procedure] (setlogmask maskpriority)

This procedure sets the logmask for the calling process and returns the old logmask. You can use log-up-to to log upto a specified priority.

[procedure] (log-up-to priority)

Returns a logmask that can be passed to setlogmask.

[procedure] (log-mask priority)

Compatibility Notes

Solaris currently lacks the syslog,ftp and authpriv facilities. Those are mapped to other facilities like so:

facility/authpriv => facility/auth
facility/syslog   => facility/daemon
facility/ftp      => facility/daemon
