SYNOPSIS

REQUIREMENTS

Paranoid::Debug

Unix::Syslog

DESCRIPTION

This modules provides syslog facilities for Paranoid::Log.

These modules are typically not meant to be used directly, but through the Paranoid::Log interface only.

FUNCTIONS

init

  $rv = init();

remove

  $rv = remove();

This closes the logger. This may be pointless, however, since it is (re)opened automatically with every call to log.

log

  $rv = log($msgtime, $severity, $message, $name, $facility, $level, $scope);

This function causes the passed message to be logged to the syslogger. Only $message is mandatory. Facility and severity will default to user.notice if not specified.

NOTE: The syslog facility is set in this case by the $name argument, not the $facility. The latter argument refers to a logging facility in Paranoid's context.

NOTE: The syslog facility cannot be changed per-call to log. The only way to change that is to call remove before calling log.

dump

  @entries = dump();

In context of this module this function does nothing.
