Syslog routines

These are loosely based on the unix syslog(3) function and relatives.

type facility = [

| `LOG_KERN
| `LOG_USER
| `LOG_MAIL
| `LOG_DAEMON
| `LOG_AUTH
| `LOG_SYSLOG
| `LOG_LPR
| `LOG_NEWS
| `LOG_UUCP
| `LOG_CRON
| `LOG_AUTHPRIV
| `LOG_FTP
| `LOG_NTP
| `LOG_SECURITY
| `LOG_CONSOLE
| `LOG_LOCAL0
| `LOG_LOCAL1
| `LOG_LOCAL2
| `LOG_LOCAL3
| `LOG_LOCAL4
| `LOG_LOCAL5
| `LOG_LOCAL6
| `LOG_LOCAL7

]

The assorted logging facilities. The default is `LOG_USER. You can set a new default with openlog, or give a specific facility per syslog call.

type flag = [

| `LOG_CONS
| `LOG_PERROR
| `LOG_PID

]

Flags to pass to openlog. `LOG_CONS isn't implemented yet. LOG_NDELAY is mandatory and implied

type level = [

| `LOG_EMERG
| `LOG_ALERT
| `LOG_CRIT
| `LOG_ERR
| `LOG_WARNING
| `LOG_NOTICE
| `LOG_INFO
| `LOG_DEBUG

]

The priority of the error.

type t

the type of a syslog connection

val facility_of_string : string -> facility

given a string descibing a facility, return the facility. The strings consist of the name of the facility with the LOG_ chopped off. They are not case sensitive.

raises Syslog_error
when given an invalid facility

val openlog : 
  ?logpath:string ->
  ?facility:facility ->
  ?flags:flag list ->
  string ->
  t

openlog ?(logpath=AUTODETECTED) ?(facility=`LOG_USER) ?(flags=) program_name, similar to openlog(3)

raises Syslog_error
on error

val syslog : ?fac:facility -> t -> level -> string -> unit

Same as syslog(3), except there's no formats.

raises Syslog_error
on error (very rare)

val closelog : t -> unit

Close the log.

raises Syslog_error
on error
