 788  =head1 DESCRIPTION
 789  
 790  C<Sys::Syslog> is an interface to the UNIX C<syslog(3)> program.
 791  Call C<syslog()> with a string priority and a list of C<printf()> args
 792  just like C<syslog(3)>.
 793  
 794  You can find a kind of FAQ in L<"THE RULES OF SYS::SYSLOG">.  Please read 
 795  it before coding, and again before asking questions. 
 796  
 797  
 798  =head1 EXPORTS
 799  
 800  C<Sys::Syslog> exports the following C<Exporter> tags: 
 801  
 802  =over 4
 803  
 804  =item *
 805  
 806  C<:standard> exports the standard C<syslog(3)> functions: 
 807  
 808      openlog closelog setlogmask syslog
 809  
 810  =item *
 811  
 812  C<:extended> exports the Perl specific functions for C<syslog(3)>: 
 813  
 814      setlogsock
 815  
 816  =item *
 817  
 818  C<:macros> exports the symbols corresponding to most of your C<syslog(3)> 
 819  macros and the C<LOG_UPTO()> and C<LOG_MASK()> functions. 
 820  See L<"CONSTANTS"> for the supported constants and their meaning. 
 821  
 822  =back
 823  
 824  By default, C<Sys::Syslog> exports the symbols from the C<:standard> tag. 
 825  
 826  
 827  =head1 FUNCTIONS
 828  
 829  =over 4
 830  
 831  =item B<openlog($ident, $logopt, $facility)>
 832  
 833  Opens the syslog.
 834  C<$ident> is prepended to every message.  C<$logopt> contains zero or
 835  more of the options detailed below.  C<$facility> specifies the part 
 836  of the system to report about, for example C<LOG_USER> or C<LOG_LOCAL0>:
 837  see L<"Facilities"> for a list of well-known facilities, and your 
 838  C<syslog(3)> documentation for the facilities available in your system. 
 839  Check L<"SEE ALSO"> for useful links. Facility can be given as a string 
 840  or a numeric macro. 
 841  
 842  This function will croak if it can't connect to the syslog daemon.
 843  
 844  Note that C<openlog()> now takes three arguments, just like C<openlog(3)>.
 845  
 846  B<You should use C<openlog()> before calling C<syslog()>.>
 847  
 848  B<Options>
 849  
 850  =over 4
 851  
 852  =item *
 853  
 854  C<cons> - This option is ignored, since the failover mechanism will drop 
 855  down to the console automatically if all other media fail.
 856  
 857  =item *
 858  
 859  C<ndelay> - Open the connection immediately (normally, the connection is
 860  opened when the first message is logged).
 861  
 862  =item *
 863  
 864  C<nofatal> - When set to true, C<openlog()> and C<syslog()> will only 
 865  emit warnings instead of dying if the connection to the syslog can't 
 866  be established. 
 867  
 868  =item *
 869  
 870  C<nowait> - Don't wait for child processes that may have been created 
 871  while logging the message.  (The GNU C library does not create a child
 872  process, so this option has no effect on Linux.)
 873  
 874  =item *
 875  
 876  C<perror> - Write the message to standard error output as well to the
 877  system log.
 878  
 879  =item *
 880  
 881  C<pid> - Include PID with each message.
 882  
 883  =back
 884  
 885  B<Examples>
 886  
 887  Open the syslog with options C<ndelay> and C<pid>, and with facility C<LOCAL0>: 
 888  
 889      openlog($name, "ndelay,pid", "local0");
 890  
 891  Same thing, but this time using the macro corresponding to C<LOCAL0>: 
 892  
 893      openlog($name, "ndelay,pid", LOG_LOCAL0);
 894  
 895  
 896  =item B<syslog($priority, $message)>
 897  
 898  =item B<syslog($priority, $format, @args)>
 899  
 900  If C<$priority> permits, logs C<$message> or C<sprintf($format, @args)>
 901  with the addition that C<%m> in $message or C<$format> is replaced with
 902  C<"$!"> (the latest error message). 
 903  
 904  C<$priority> can specify a level, or a level and a facility.  Levels and 
 905  facilities can be given as strings or as macros.  When using the C<eventlog>
 906  mechanism, priorities C<DEBUG> and C<INFO> are mapped to event type 
 907  C<informational>, C<NOTICE> and C<WARNIN> to C<warning> and C<ERR> to 
 908  C<EMERG> to C<error>.
 909  
 910  If you didn't use C<openlog()> before using C<syslog()>, C<syslog()> will 
 911  try to guess the C<$ident> by extracting the shortest prefix of 
 912  C<$format> that ends in a C<":">.
 913  
 914  B<Examples>
 915  
 916      syslog("info", $message);           # informational level
 917      syslog(LOG_INFO, $message);         # informational level
 918  
 919      syslog("info|local0", $message);        # information level, Local0 facility
 920      syslog(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL0, $message);  # information level, Local0 facility

 923  
 924  =item B<Note>
 925  
 926  C<Sys::Syslog> version v0.07 and older passed the C<$message> as the 
 927  formatting string to C<sprintf()> even when no formatting arguments
 928  were provided.  If the code calling C<syslog()> might execute with 
 929  older versions of this module, make sure to call the function as
 930  C<syslog($priority, "%s", $message)> instead of C<syslog($priority,
 931  $message)>.  This protects against hostile formatting sequences that
 932  might show up if $message contains tainted data.

 937  =item B<setlogmask($mask_priority)>
 938  
 939  Sets the log mask for the current process to C<$mask_priority> and 
 940  returns the old mask.  If the mask argument is 0, the current log mask 
 941  is not modified.  See L<"Levels"> for the list of available levels. 
 942  You can use the C<LOG_UPTO()> function to allow all levels up to a 
 943  given priority (but it only accept the numeric macros as arguments).
 944  
 945  B<Examples>
 946  
 947  Only log errors: 
 948  
 949      setlogmask( LOG_MASK(LOG_ERR) );
 950  
 951  Log everything except informational messages: 
 952  
 953      setlogmask( ~(LOG_MASK(LOG_INFO)) );
 954  
 955  Log critical messages, errors and warnings: 
 956  
 957      setlogmask( LOG_MASK(LOG_CRIT) | LOG_MASK(LOG_ERR) | LOG_MASK(LOG_WARNING) );
 958  
 959  Log all messages up to debug:

1006  
1007  C<"stream"> - connect to the stream indicated by the pathname provided as 
1008  the optional second parameter, or, if omitted, to F</dev/conslog>. 
1009  For example Solaris and IRIX system may prefer C<"stream"> instead of C<"unix">. 
1010  
1011  =item *
1012  
1013  C<"pipe"> - connect to the named pipe indicated by the pathname provided as 
1014  the optional second parameter, or, if omitted, to the value returned by

1025  A reference to an array can also be passed as the first parameter.
1026  When this calling method is used, the array should contain a list of
1027  mechanisms which are attempted in order.
1028  
1029  The default is to try C<native>, C<tcp>, C<udp>, C<unix>, C<stream>, C<console>.
1030  Under systems with the Win32 API, C<eventlog> will be added as the first 
1031  mechanism to try if C<Win32::EventLog> is available.
1032  
1033  Giving an invalid value for C<$sock_type> will C<croak>.

1035  B<Examples>
1036  
1037  Select the UDP socket mechanism: 
1038  
1039      setlogsock("udp");
1040  
1041  Select the native, UDP socket then UNIX domain socket mechanisms:

1047  =item B<Note>
1048  
1049  Now that the "native" mechanism is supported by C<Sys::Syslog> and selected 
1050  by default, the use of the C<setlogsock()> function is discouraged because 
1051  other mechanisms are less portable across operating systems.  Authors of 
1052  modules and programs that use this function, especially its cargo-cult form 
1053  C<setlogsock("unix")>, are advised to remove any occurence of it unless they 
1054  specifically want to use a given mechanism (like TCP or UDP to connect to 
1055  a remote host).

1087  Logs will go on as long as they have to. 
1088  
1089  I<The Eighth, and Final Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
1090  If this is your first use of Sys::Syslog, you must read the doc.
1091  
1092  
1093  =head1 EXAMPLES
1094  
1095  An example:
1096  
1097      openlog($program, 'cons,pid', 'user');
1098      syslog('info', '%s', 'this is another test');
1099      syslog('mail|warning', 'this is a better test: %d', time);
1100      closelog();
1101  
1102      syslog('debug', 'this is the last test');
1103  
1104  Another example:
1105  
1106      openlog("$program $$", 'ndelay', 'user');
1107      syslog('notice', 'fooprogram: this is really done');
1108  
1109  Example of use of C<%m>:
1110  
1111      $! = 55;
1112      syslog('info', 'problem was %m');   # %m == $! in syslog(3)
1113  
1114  Log to UDP port on C<$remotehost> instead of logging locally:
1115  
1116      setlogsock('udp');
1117      $Sys::Syslog::host = $remotehost;
1118      openlog($program, 'ndelay', 'user');
1119      syslog('info', 'something happened over here');

1472  
1473  Using Google Code Search, I search who on Earth was relying on $host being 
1474  public. It found 5 hits: 
1475  
1476  * First was inside Indigo Star Perl2exe documentation. Just an old version 
1477  of Sys::Syslog. 
1478  
1479  
1480  * One real hit was inside DalWeathDB, a weather related program. It simply 
1481  does a 
1482  
1483      $Sys::Syslog::host = '127.0.0.1';
1484  
1485  - L<http://www.gallistel.net/nparker/weather/code/>
1486  
1487  
1488  * Two hits were in TPC, a fax server thingy. It does a 
1489  
1490      $Sys::Syslog::host = $TPC::LOGHOST;
1491  
1492  but also has this strange piece of code:
1493  
1494      # work around perl5.003 bug
1495      sub Sys::Syslog::hostname {}
1496  
1497  I don't know what bug the author referred to.
1498  
1499  - L<http://www.tpc.int/>
1500  - L<ftp://ftp.tpc.int/tpc/server/UNIX/>
1501  - L<ftp://ftp-usa.tpc.int/pub/tpc/server/UNIX/>
1502  
1503  
1504  * Last hit was in Filefix, which seems to be a FIDOnet mail program (!).
1505  This one does not use $host, but has the following piece of code:
1506  
1507      sub Sys::Syslog::hostname
1508      {
1509          use Sys::Hostname;
1510          return hostname;
1511      }
1512  
1513  I guess this was a more elaborate form of the previous bit, maybe because 
1514  of a bug in Sys::Syslog back then?
