Description-en: Provides syslogd and klogd using busybox
The system log daemon is responsible for providing logging of
messages received from programs and facilities on the local host as
well as from remote hosts.
.
The kernel log daemon listens to kernel message sources and is
responsible for prioritizing and processing operating system
messages.
.
The busybox implementation of the syslogd is particular useful on
embedded, diskless (netboot) or flash disk based systems because it
can use a fixed size ring buffer for logging instead of saving logs
to the disk or sending it to remote logging servers. The ring buffer
can be read using the (also busybox based) command logread.
.
This package provides the glue to the busybox syslogd and klogd to be
used in the system by providing the appropriate symbolic links and
scripts.
