libsyslog
=========
The code in this crate provides an API implementing the standard Rust logging
facade using the system's syslog. That is, it implements the [Log][] trait of
the [log crate][] for native syslog, typically implemented in C and residing in
libc.

Why?
----
How does this differ from the handful of other pre-existing syslog crates? This
one uses the system library implementation rather than attempting to rewrite it
in Rust. The hope is thus to have a crate that works on pretty much any
platform with syslog, avoiding bugs from making assumptions on implementation
specific details.

The need arose from a desire to use syslog on illumos, a platform where most of
the other syslog crates fail to even build and other(s) instead fail at
runtime.

A list of attempted platforms is maintained in [libsyslog-sys][api]. Reports on
success or failures to use it on other platforms are most welcome.
