Description-en: system and kernel logging services - binaries
socklog cooperates with the runit package to create a small and
secure replacement for rsyslog. socklog supports system logging
through Unix domain sockets (/dev/log), UDP sockets (0.0.0.0:514), as
well as TCP socket, with the help of runit's runsvdir, runsv, and
svlogd. socklog provides a different network logging concept, and
also does log event notification. svlogd has built in log file
rotation based on file size, so there is no need for any cron jobs to
rotate the logs. socklog is small, secure, and reliable.
.
This package contains the socklog binaries and manual pages.
