=head1 NAME

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

=head1 VERSION

This is the documentation of version 0.29

=head1 SYNOPSIS

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

    openlog($ident, $logopt, $facility);    # don't forget this
    syslog($priority, $format, @args);
    $oldmask = setlogmask($mask_priority);
    closelog();


=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

You can find a kind of FAQ in L<"THE RULES OF SYS::SYSLOG">.  Please read 
it before coding, and again before asking questions. 


=head1 EXPORTS

C<Sys::Syslog> exports the following C<Exporter> tags: 

=over 4

=item *

C<:standard> exports the standard C<syslog(3)> functions: 

    openlog closelog setlogmask syslog

=item *

C<:extended> exports the Perl specific functions for C<syslog(3)>: 

    setlogsock

=item *

C<:macros> exports the symbols corresponding to most of your C<syslog(3)> 
macros and the C<LOG_UPTO()> and C<LOG_MASK()> functions. 
See L<"CONSTANTS"> for the supported constants and their meaning. 

=back

By default, C<Sys::Syslog> exports the symbols from the C<:standard> tag. 


=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item B<openlog($ident, $logopt, $facility)>

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

This function will croak if it can't connect to the syslog daemon.

Note that C<openlog()> now takes three arguments, just like C<openlog(3)>.

B<You should use C<openlog()> before calling C<syslog()>.>

B<Options>

=over 4

=item *

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

=item *

C<ndelay> - Open the connection immediately (normally, the connection is
opened when the first message is logged).

=item *

C<noeol> - When set to true, no end of line character (C<\n>) will be
appended to the message. This can be useful for some buggy syslog daemons.

=item *

C<nofatal> - When set to true, C<openlog()> and C<syslog()> will only 
emit warnings instead of dying if the connection to the syslog can't 
be established. 

=item *

C<nonul> - When set to true, no C<NUL> character (C<\0>) will be
appended to the message. This can be useful for some buggy syslog daemons.

=item *

C<nowait> - Don'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<perror> - Write the message to standard error output as well to the
system log (added in C<Sys::Syslo> 0.22).

=item *

C<pid> - Include PID with each message.

=back

B<Examples>

Open the syslog with options C<ndelay> and C<pid>, and with facility C<LOCAL0>: 

    openlog($name, "ndelay,pid", "local0");

Same thing, but this time using the macro corresponding to C<LOCAL0>: 

    openlog($name, "ndelay,pid", LOG_LOCAL0);


=item B<syslog($priority, $message)>

=item B<syslog($priority, $format, @args)>

If C<$priority> permits, logs C<$message> or C<sprintf($format, @args)>
with the addition that C<%m> in $message or C<$format> is replaced with
C<"$!"> (the latest error message). 

C<$priority> 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<eventlog>
mechanism, priorities C<DEBUG> and C<INFO> are mapped to event type 
C<informational>, C<NOTICE> and C<WARNING> to C<warning> and C<ERR> to 
C<EMERG> to C<error>.

If you didn't use C<openlog()> before using C<syslog()>, C<syslog()> will 
try to guess the C<$ident> by extracting the shortest prefix of 
C<$format> that ends in a C<":">.

B<Examples>

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

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

=over 4

=item B<Note>

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

=back


=item B<setlogmask($mask_priority)>

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

B<Examples>

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<setlogsock()>

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

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

=over

=item *

C<setlogsock($sock_type)>

=item *

C<setlogsock($sock_type, $stream_location)> (added in Perl 5.004_02)

=item *

C<setlogsock($sock_type, $stream_location, $sock_timeout)> (added in
C<Sys::Syslog> 0.25)

=item *

C<setlogsock(\%options)> (added in C<Sys::Syslog> 0.28)

=back

The available options are:

=over

=item *

C<type> - equivalent to C<$sock_type>, selects the socket type (or
"mechanism").  An array reference can be passed to specify several
mechanisms to try, in the given order.

=item *

C<path> - equivalent to C<$stream_location>, sets the stream location.
Defaults to standard Unix location, or C<_PATH_LOG>.

=item *

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

=item *

C<host> - sets the hostname to send the messages to.  Defaults to 
the local host.

=item *

C<port> - 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<"native"> - use the native C functions from your C<syslog(3)> library
(added in C<Sys::Syslog> 0.15).

=item *

C<"eventlog"> - send messages to the Win32 events logger (Win32 only; 
added in C<Sys::Syslog> 0.19).

=item *

C<"tcp"> - connect to a TCP socket, on the C<syslog/tcp> or C<syslogng/tcp> 
service.  See also the C<host>, C<port> and C<timeout> options.

=item *

C<"udp"> - connect to a UDP socket, on the C<syslog/udp> service.
See also the C<host>, C<port> and C<timeout> options.

=item *

C<"inet"> - connect to an INET socket, either TCP or UDP, tried in that 
order.  See also the C<host>, C<port> and C<timeout> options.

=item *

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

=item *

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

=item *

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

=item *

C<"console"> - send messages directly to the console, as for the C<"cons"> 
option of C<openlog()>.

=back

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

Giving an invalid value for C<$sock_type> will C<croak>.

B<Examples>

Select the UDP socket mechanism:

    setlogsock("udp");

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

    setlogsock({ type => "tcp", port => 2486 });

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

    setlogsock({ type => "tcp", host => $loghost });

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

    setlogsock(["native", "udp", "unix"]);

=over

=item B<Note>

Now that the "native" mechanism is supported by C<Sys::Syslog> and selected 
by default, the use of the C<setlogsock()> 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<setlogsock("unix")>, are advised to remove any occurence of it unless they 
specifically want to use a given mechanism (like TCP or UDP to connect to 
a remote host).

=back

=item B<closelog()>

Closes the log file and returns true on success.

=head1 THE RULES OF SYS::SYSLOG

I<The First Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
You do not call C<setlogsock>.

I<The Second Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
You B<do not> call C<setlogsock>.

I<The Third Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
The program crashes, C<die>s, calls C<closelog>, the log is over.

I<The Fourth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
One facility, one priority.

I<The Fifth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
One log at a time.

I<The Sixth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
No C<syslog> before C<openlog>.

I<The Seventh Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
Logs will go on as long as they have to. 

I<The Eighth, and Final Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
If this is your first use of Sys::Syslog, you must read the doc.


=head1 EXAMPLES

An example:

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

    syslog('debug', 'this is the last test');

Another example:

    openlog("$program $$", 'ndelay', 'user');
    syslog('notice', 'fooprogram: this is really done');

Example of use of C<%m>:

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

Log to UDP port on C<$remotehost> instead of logging locally:

    setlogsock("udp", $remotehost);
    openlog($program, 'ndelay', 'user');
    syslog('info', 'something happened over here');

=head1 HISTORY

C<Sys::Syslog> is a core module, part of the standard Perl distribution
since 1990.  At this time, modules as we know them didn't exist, the
Perl library was a collection of F<.pl> files, and the one for sending
syslog messages with was simply F<lib/syslog.pl>, 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<Sys::Syslog> versions.

    Sys::Syslog     Perl

Notes for the future maintainer (even if it'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 = '127.0.0.1';

- L<http://www.gallistel.net/nparker/weather/code/>


* 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't know what bug the author referred to.

- L<http://www.tpc.int/>
- L<ftp://ftp-usa.tpc.int/pub/tpc/server/UNIX/>


* 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?
