# http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20061211/005961.html

# However, this also had the effect of slowing this test for 
# all other operating systems, which apparently impacted some 
# users (cf. CPAN-RT #34753). So, in order to make everybody 
# happy, the timeout is now zero by default on all systems 
# except on OSX where it is set to 250 msec, and can be set 
# with the infamous setlogsock() function.

# Update 2011-08: this issue is also been seen on multiprocessor
# Debian GNU/kFreeBSD systems. See http://bugs.debian.org/627821
# and https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69997
# Also, lowering the delay to 1 ms, which should be enough.

=head1 NAME

Sys::Syslog - Perl interface to the UNIX syslog(3) calls

=head1 VERSION

This is the documentation of version 0.35

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Sys::Syslog;                        # all except setlogsock()
    use Sys::Syslog qw(:standard :macros);  # standard functions &amp; macros

    openlog($ident, $logopt, $facility);    # don&#039;t forget this
    syslog($priority, $format, @args);
    $oldmask = setlogmask($mask_priority);
    closelog();


=head1 DESCRIPTION

C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; is an interface to the UNIX C&lt;syslog(3)&gt; program.
Call C&lt;syslog()&gt; with a string priority and a list of C&lt;printf()&gt; args
just like C&lt;syslog(3)&gt;.


=head1 EXPORTS

C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; exports the following C&lt;Exporter&gt; tags: 

=over 4

=item *

C&lt;:standard&gt; exports the standard C&lt;syslog(3)&gt; functions: 

    openlog closelog setlogmask syslog

=item *

C&lt;:extended&gt; exports the Perl specific functions for C&lt;syslog(3)&gt;: 

    setlogsock

=item *

C&lt;:macros&gt; exports the symbols corresponding to most of your C&lt;syslog(3)&gt; 
macros and the C&lt;LOG_UPTO()&gt; and C&lt;LOG_MASK()&gt; functions. 
See L&lt;&quot;CONSTANTS&quot;&gt; for the supported constants and their meaning. 

=back

By default, C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; exports the symbols from the C&lt;:standard&gt; tag. 


=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item B&lt;openlog($ident, $logopt, $facility)&gt;

Opens the syslog.
C&lt;$ident&gt; is prepended to every message.  C&lt;$logopt&gt; contains zero or
more of the options detailed below.  C&lt;$facility&gt; specifies the part 
of the system to report about, for example C&lt;LOG_USER&gt; or C&lt;LOG_LOCAL0&gt;:
see L&lt;&quot;Facilities&quot;&gt; for a list of well-known facilities, and your 
C&lt;syslog(3)&gt; documentation for the facilities available in your system. 
Check L&lt;&quot;SEE ALSO&quot;&gt; for useful links. Facility can be given as a string 
or a numeric macro. 

This function will croak if it can&#039;t connect to the syslog daemon.

Note that C&lt;openlog()&gt; now takes three arguments, just like C&lt;openlog(3)&gt;.

B&lt;You should use C&lt;openlog()&gt; before calling C&lt;syslog()&gt;.&gt;

B&lt;Options&gt;

=over 4

=item *

C&lt;cons&gt; - This option is ignored, since the failover mechanism will drop 
down to the console automatically if all other media fail.

=item *

C&lt;ndelay&gt; - Open the connection immediately (normally, the connection is
opened when the first message is logged).

=item *

C&lt;noeol&gt; - When set to true, no end of line character (C&lt;\n&gt;) will be
appended to the message. This can be useful for some syslog daemons.
Added in C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.29.

=item *

C&lt;nofatal&gt; - When set to true, C&lt;openlog()&gt; and C&lt;syslog()&gt; will only 
emit warnings instead of dying if the connection to the syslog can&#039;t 
be established. Added in C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.15.

=item *

C&lt;nonul&gt; - When set to true, no C&lt;NUL&gt; character (C&lt;\0&gt;) will be
appended to the message. This can be useful for some syslog daemons.
Added in C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.29.

=item *

C&lt;nowait&gt; - Don&#039;t wait for child processes that may have been created 
while logging the message.  (The GNU C library does not create a child
process, so this option has no effect on Linux.)

=item *

C&lt;perror&gt; - Write the message to standard error output as well to the
system log. Added in C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.22.

=item *

C&lt;pid&gt; - Include PID with each message.

=back

B&lt;Examples&gt;

Open the syslog with options C&lt;ndelay&gt; and C&lt;pid&gt;, and with facility C&lt;LOCAL0&gt;: 

    openlog($name, &quot;ndelay,pid&quot;, &quot;local0&quot;);

Same thing, but this time using the macro corresponding to C&lt;LOCAL0&gt;: 

    openlog($name, &quot;ndelay,pid&quot;, LOG_LOCAL0);


=item B&lt;syslog($priority, $message)&gt;

=item B&lt;syslog($priority, $format, @args)&gt;

If C&lt;$priority&gt; permits, logs C&lt;$message&gt; or C&lt;sprintf($format, @args)&gt;
with the addition that C&lt;%m&gt; in $message or C&lt;$format&gt; is replaced with
C&lt;&quot;$!&quot;&gt; (the latest error message). 

C&lt;$priority&gt; can specify a level, or a level and a facility.  Levels and 
facilities can be given as strings or as macros.  When using the C&lt;eventlog&gt;
mechanism, priorities C&lt;DEBUG&gt; and C&lt;INFO&gt; are mapped to event type 
C&lt;informational&gt;, C&lt;NOTICE&gt; and C&lt;WARNING&gt; to C&lt;warning&gt; and C&lt;ERR&gt; to 
C&lt;EMERG&gt; to C&lt;error&gt;.

If you didn&#039;t use C&lt;openlog()&gt; before using C&lt;syslog()&gt;, C&lt;syslog()&gt; will 
try to guess the C&lt;$ident&gt; by extracting the shortest prefix of 
C&lt;$format&gt; that ends in a C&lt;&quot;:&quot;&gt;.

B&lt;Examples&gt;

    # informational level
    syslog(&quot;info&quot;, $message);
    syslog(LOG_INFO, $message);

    # information level, Local0 facility
    syslog(&quot;info|local0&quot;, $message);
    syslog(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL0, $message);

=over 4

=item B&lt;Note&gt;

C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; version v0.07 and older passed the C&lt;$message&gt; as the 
formatting string to C&lt;sprintf()&gt; even when no formatting arguments
were provided.  If the code calling C&lt;syslog()&gt; might execute with 
older versions of this module, make sure to call the function as
C&lt;syslog($priority, &quot;%s&quot;, $message)&gt; instead of C&lt;syslog($priority,
$message)&gt;.  This protects against hostile formatting sequences that
might show up if $message contains tainted data.

=back


=item B&lt;setlogmask($mask_priority)&gt;

Sets the log mask for the current process to C&lt;$mask_priority&gt; and 
returns the old mask.  If the mask argument is 0, the current log mask 
is not modified.  See L&lt;&quot;Levels&quot;&gt; for the list of available levels. 
You can use the C&lt;LOG_UPTO()&gt; function to allow all levels up to a 
given priority (but it only accept the numeric macros as arguments).

B&lt;Examples&gt;

Only log errors: 

    setlogmask( LOG_MASK(LOG_ERR) );

Log everything except informational messages: 

    setlogmask( ~(LOG_MASK(LOG_INFO)) );

Log critical messages, errors and warnings: 

    setlogmask( LOG_MASK(LOG_CRIT)
              | LOG_MASK(LOG_ERR)
              | LOG_MASK(LOG_WARNING) );

Log all messages up to debug: 

    setlogmask( LOG_UPTO(LOG_DEBUG) );


=item B&lt;setlogsock()&gt;

Sets the socket type and options to be used for the next call to C&lt;openlog()&gt;
or C&lt;syslog()&gt;.  Returns true on success, C&lt;undef&gt; on failure.

Being Perl-specific, this function has evolved along time.  It can currently
be called as follow:

=over

=item *

C&lt;setlogsock($sock_type)&gt;

=item *

C&lt;setlogsock($sock_type, $stream_location)&gt; (added in Perl 5.004_02)

=item *

C&lt;setlogsock($sock_type, $stream_location, $sock_timeout)&gt; (added in
C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.25)

=item *

C&lt;setlogsock(\%options)&gt; (added in C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.28)

=back

The available options are:

=over

=item *

C&lt;type&gt; - equivalent to C&lt;$sock_type&gt;, selects the socket type (or
&quot;mechanism&quot;).  An array reference can be passed to specify several
mechanisms to try, in the given order.

=item *

C&lt;path&gt; - equivalent to C&lt;$stream_location&gt;, sets the stream location.
Defaults to standard Unix location, or C&lt;_PATH_LOG&gt;.

=item *

C&lt;timeout&gt; - equivalent to C&lt;$sock_timeout&gt;, sets the socket timeout
in seconds.  Defaults to 0 on all systems except S&lt;Mac OS X&gt; where it
is set to 0.25 sec.

=item *

C&lt;host&gt; - sets the hostname to send the messages to.  Defaults to 
the local host.

=item *

C&lt;port&gt; - sets the TCP or UDP port to connect to.  Defaults to the
first standard syslog port available on the system.

=back


The available mechanisms are: 

=over

=item *

C&lt;&quot;native&quot;&gt; - use the native C functions from your C&lt;syslog(3)&gt; library
(added in C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.15).

=item *

C&lt;&quot;eventlog&quot;&gt; - send messages to the Win32 events logger (Win32 only; 
added in C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.19).

=item *

C&lt;&quot;tcp&quot;&gt; - connect to a TCP socket, on the C&lt;syslog/tcp&gt; or C&lt;syslogng/tcp&gt; 
service.  See also the C&lt;host&gt;, C&lt;port&gt; and C&lt;timeout&gt; options.

=item *

C&lt;&quot;udp&quot;&gt; - connect to a UDP socket, on the C&lt;syslog/udp&gt; service.
See also the C&lt;host&gt;, C&lt;port&gt; and C&lt;timeout&gt; options.

=item *

C&lt;&quot;inet&quot;&gt; - connect to an INET socket, either TCP or UDP, tried in that 
order.  See also the C&lt;host&gt;, C&lt;port&gt; and C&lt;timeout&gt; options.

=item *

C&lt;&quot;unix&quot;&gt; - connect to a UNIX domain socket (in some systems a character 
special device).  The name of that socket is given by the C&lt;path&gt; option
or, if omitted, the value returned by the C&lt;_PATH_LOG&gt; macro (if your
system defines it), F&lt;/dev/log&gt; or F&lt;/dev/conslog&gt;, whichever is writable.

=item *

C&lt;&quot;stream&quot;&gt; - connect to the stream indicated by the C&lt;path&gt; option, or,
if omitted, the value returned by the C&lt;_PATH_LOG&gt; macro (if your system
defines it), F&lt;/dev/log&gt; or F&lt;/dev/conslog&gt;, whichever is writable.  For
example Solaris and IRIX system may prefer C&lt;&quot;stream&quot;&gt; instead of C&lt;&quot;unix&quot;&gt;. 

=item *

C&lt;&quot;pipe&quot;&gt; - connect to the named pipe indicated by the C&lt;path&gt; option,
or, if omitted, to the value returned by the C&lt;_PATH_LOG&gt; macro (if your
system defines it), or F&lt;/dev/log&gt; (added in C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; 0.21).
HP-UX is a system which uses such a named pipe.

=item *

C&lt;&quot;console&quot;&gt; - send messages directly to the console, as for the C&lt;&quot;cons&quot;&gt; 
option of C&lt;openlog()&gt;.

=back

The default is to try C&lt;native&gt;, C&lt;tcp&gt;, C&lt;udp&gt;, C&lt;unix&gt;, C&lt;pipe&gt;, C&lt;stream&gt;, 
C&lt;console&gt;.
Under systems with the Win32 API, C&lt;eventlog&gt; will be added as the first 
mechanism to try if C&lt;Win32::EventLog&gt; is available.

Giving an invalid value for C&lt;$sock_type&gt; will C&lt;croak&gt;.

B&lt;Examples&gt;

Select the UDP socket mechanism:

    setlogsock(&quot;udp&quot;);

Send messages using the TCP socket mechanism on a custom port:

    setlogsock({ type =&gt; &quot;tcp&quot;, port =&gt; 2486 });

Send messages to a remote host using the TCP socket mechanism:

    setlogsock({ type =&gt; &quot;tcp&quot;, host =&gt; $loghost });

Try the native, UDP socket then UNIX domain socket mechanisms: 

    setlogsock([&quot;native&quot;, &quot;udp&quot;, &quot;unix&quot;]);

=over

=item B&lt;Note&gt;

Now that the &quot;native&quot; mechanism is supported by C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; and selected 
by default, the use of the C&lt;setlogsock()&gt; function is discouraged because 
other mechanisms are less portable across operating systems.  Authors of 
modules and programs that use this function, especially its cargo-cult form 
C&lt;setlogsock(&quot;unix&quot;)&gt;, are advised to remove any occurrence of it unless they 
specifically want to use a given mechanism (like TCP or UDP to connect to 
a remote host).

=back

=item B&lt;closelog()&gt;

Closes the log file and returns true on success.

=head1 THE RULES OF SYS::SYSLOG

I&lt;The First Rule of Sys::Syslog is:&gt;
You do not call C&lt;setlogsock&gt;.

I&lt;The Second Rule of Sys::Syslog is:&gt;
You B&lt;do not&gt; call C&lt;setlogsock&gt;.

I&lt;The Third Rule of Sys::Syslog is:&gt;
The program crashes, C&lt;die&gt;s, calls C&lt;closelog&gt;, the log is over.

I&lt;The Fourth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:&gt;
One facility, one priority.

I&lt;The Fifth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:&gt;
One log at a time.

I&lt;The Sixth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:&gt;
No C&lt;syslog&gt; before C&lt;openlog&gt;.

I&lt;The Seventh Rule of Sys::Syslog is:&gt;
Logs will go on as long as they have to. 

I&lt;The Eighth, and Final Rule of Sys::Syslog is:&gt;
If this is your first use of Sys::Syslog, you must read the doc.


=head1 EXAMPLES

An example:

    openlog($program, &#039;cons,pid&#039;, &#039;user&#039;);
    syslog(&#039;info&#039;, &#039;%s&#039;, &#039;this is another test&#039;);
    syslog(&#039;mail|warning&#039;, &#039;this is a better test: %d&#039;, time);
    closelog();

    syslog(&#039;debug&#039;, &#039;this is the last test&#039;);

Another example:

    openlog(&quot;$program $$&quot;, &#039;ndelay&#039;, &#039;user&#039;);
    syslog(&#039;notice&#039;, &#039;fooprogram: this is really done&#039;);

Example of use of C&lt;%m&gt;:

    $! = 55;
    syslog(&#039;info&#039;, &#039;problem was %m&#039;);   # %m == $! in syslog(3)

Log to UDP port on C&lt;$remotehost&gt; instead of logging locally:

    setlogsock(&quot;udp&quot;, $remotehost);
    openlog($program, &#039;ndelay&#039;, &#039;user&#039;);
    syslog(&#039;info&#039;, &#039;something happened over here&#039;);

=head1 HISTORY

C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; is a core module, part of the standard Perl distribution
since 1990.  At this time, modules as we know them didn&#039;t exist, the
Perl library was a collection of F&lt;.pl&gt; files, and the one for sending
syslog messages with was simply F&lt;lib/syslog.pl&gt;, included with Perl 3.0.
It was converted as a module with Perl 5.0, but had a version number
only starting with Perl 5.6.  Here is a small table with the matching
Perl and C&lt;Sys::Syslog&gt; versions.

Notes for the future maintainer (even if it&#039;s still me..)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Using Google Code Search, I search who on Earth was relying on $host being 
public. It found 5 hits: 

* First was inside Indigo Star Perl2exe documentation. Just an old version 
of Sys::Syslog. 


* One real hit was inside DalWeathDB, a weather related program. It simply 
does a 

    $Sys::Syslog::host = &#039;127.0.0.1&#039;;

- L&lt;http://www.gallistel.net/nparker/weather/code/&gt;


* Two hits were in TPC, a fax server thingy. It does a 

    $Sys::Syslog::host = $TPC::LOGHOST;

but also has this strange piece of code:

    # work around perl5.003 bug
    sub Sys::Syslog::hostname {}

I don&#039;t know what bug the author referred to.

- L&lt;http://www.tpc.int/&gt;
- L&lt;ftp://ftp-usa.tpc.int/pub/tpc/server/UNIX/&gt;


* Last hit was in Filefix, which seems to be a FIDOnet mail program (!).
This one does not use $host, but has the following piece of code:

    sub Sys::Syslog::hostname
    {
        use Sys::Hostname;
        return hostname;
    }

I guess this was a more elaborate form of the previous bit, maybe because 
of a bug in Sys::Syslog back then?
