💖 Detailed Description 💖

SyslogAppender sends LoggingEvents to the local syslog system. That’s the whole mood. 💫

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

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

Instantiate a SyslogAppender with the given name, syslogName, and facility for syslog.

🚨 caveat, bestie: 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]

Virtual destructor.

🌈 Member Function Documentation 🌈

virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::_append (const LoggingEvent & event) — [protected], [virtual]

Sends a LoggingEvent to syslog.

Parameters

• event — the LoggingEvent to log.

Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::close () — [virtual]

Calls closelog(3) to close the syslog file descriptor.

Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::open () — [protected], [virtual]

Calls openlog(3).

virtual bool log4cpp::SyslogAppender::reopen () — [virtual]

Calls closelog(3) and openlog(3).

Reimplemented from log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

int log4cpp::SyslogAppender::toSyslogPriority (Priority::Value priority) — [static]

Translates a log4cpp priority to a syslog priority.

Parameters

• priority — the log4cpp priority.

Returns

• the syslog priority.
