Detailed Description

SyslogAppender sends LoggingEvents to the local syslog system.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

log4cpp::SyslogAppender::SyslogAppender (const std::string & name, const std::string & syslogName, int facility = LOG_USER)

Instantiate a SyslogAppender with given name and name and facility for syslog. Note that the C syslog API is process global, so instantion of a second SyslogAppender will 'overwrite' the syslog name of the first.

Parameters

name The name of the Appender
syslogName The ident parameter in the openlog(3) call.
facility The syslog facility to log to. Defaults to LOG_USER.

virtual log4cpp::SyslogAppender::~SyslogAppender () [virtual]
