Summary

Provides a low-level interface to the log/syslog package.

Package syslog provides a simple interface to the system log
service. It can send messages to the syslog daemon using UNIX
domain sockets, UDP or TCP.

Only one call to Dial is necessary. On write failures,
the syslog client will attempt to reconnect to the server
and write again.

The syslog package is frozen and is not accepting new features.
Some external packages provide more functionality. See:

https://godoc.org/?q=syslog

Constants

Constants are variables with :const true in their metadata. Joker currently does not recognize them as special; as such, it allows redefining them or their values.

(None.)

Functions, Macros, and Special Forms

• Dial

  Function v1.0

  (Dial network raddr priority tag)
  

  Dial establishes a connection to a log daemon by connecting to
  address raddr on the specified network. Each write to the returned
  writer sends a log message with the facility and severity
  (from priority) and tag. If tag is empty, the os.Args[0] is used.
  If network is empty, Dial will connect to the local syslog server.
  Otherwise, see the documentation for net.Dial for valid values
  of network and raddr.
  
  Go input arguments: (network string, raddr string, priority Priority, tag string)
  
  Go returns: (*Writer, error)
  
  Joker input arguments: [^String network, ^String raddr, ^Priority priority, ^String tag]
  
  Joker returns: [^*Writer, ^Error]

• New

  Function v1.0

  (New priority tag)
  

  New establishes a new connection to the system log daemon. Each
  write to the returned writer sends a log message with the given
  priority (a combination of the syslog facility and severity) and
  prefix tag. If tag is empty, the os.Args[0] is used.
  
  Go input arguments: (priority Priority, tag string)
  
  Go returns: (*Writer, error)
  
  Joker input arguments: [^Priority priority, ^String tag]
  
  Joker returns: [^*Writer, ^Error]

• NewLogger

  Function v1.0

  (NewLogger p logFlag)
  

  NewLogger creates a log.Logger whose output is written to the
  system log service with the specified priority, a combination of
  the syslog facility and severity. The logFlag argument is the flag
  set passed through to log.New to create the Logger.
  
  Go input arguments: (p Priority, logFlag int)
  
  Go returns: (*log.Logger, error)
  
  Joker input arguments: [^Priority p, ^Int logFlag]
  
  Joker returns: [^go.std.log/*Logger, ^Error]

Types

• *Priority

  Concrete Type v1.0

  The Priority is a combination of the syslog facility and
  severity. For example, LOG_ALERT | LOG_FTP sends an alert severity
  message from the FTP facility. The default severity is LOG_EMERG;
  the default facility is LOG_KERN.
  

• *Writer

  Concrete Type v1.0

  A Writer is a connection to a syslog server.
  

• Alert

  Receiver for *Writer v1.0

  ([m])
  

  Alert logs a message with severity LOG_ALERT, ignoring the severity
  passed to New.
  

• Close

  Receiver for *Writer v1.0

  ([])
  

  Close closes a connection to the syslog daemon.
  

• Crit

  Receiver for *Writer v1.0

  ([m])
  

  Crit logs a message with severity LOG_CRIT, ignoring the severity
  passed to New.
  

• Debug

  Receiver for *Writer v1.0

  ([m])
  

  Debug logs a message with severity LOG_DEBUG, ignoring the severity
  passed to New.
  

• Emerg

  ([m])
  

  Emerg logs a message with severity LOG_EMERG, ignoring the severity

  passed to New.
  

• Notice

  Receiver for *Writer v1.0

  ([m])
  

  Notice logs a message with severity LOG_NOTICE, ignoring the
  severity passed to New.
  

• Warning

  Receiver for *Writer v1.0

  ([m])
  

  Warning logs a message with severity LOG_WARNING, ignoring the

  the default facility is LOG_KERN.
  

• Writer

  Concrete Type v1.0

  A Writer is a connection to a syslog server.
