=head1 NAME
Sys::Syslog - Perl interface to the UNIX syslog(3) calls
=head1 VERSION
This is the documentation of version 0.35
=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)>.
=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 syslog daemons.
Added in C<Sys::Syslog> 0.29.
=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. Added in C<Sys::Syslog> 0.15.
=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 syslog daemons.
Added in C<Sys::Syslog> 0.29.
=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::Syslog> 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 => $loghost });
Try the native, UDP socket then UNIX domain socket mechanisms:
setlogsock(["native", "udp", "unix"]);
=over
=item B<Note>
Now that the "native" mechanism is supported by C<Sys::Syslog> and selected
by default, the use of the C<setlogsock()> function is discouraged because
other mechanisms are less portable across operating systems. Authors of
modules and programs that use this function, especially its cargo-cult form
C<setlogsock("unix")>, are advised to remove any occurrence of it unless they
specifically want to use a given mechanism (like TCP or UDP to connect to
a remote host).
=back
=item B<closelog()>
Closes the log file and returns true on success.
=back
=head1 THE RULES OF SYS::SYSLOG
I<The First Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
You do not call C<setlogsock>.
I<The Second Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
You B<do not> call C<setlogsock>.
I<The Third Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
The program crashes, C<die>s, calls C<closelog>, the log is over.
I<The Fourth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
One facility, one priority.
I<The Fifth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
One log at a time.
I<The Sixth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
No C<syslog> before C<openlog>.
I<The Seventh Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
Logs will go on as long as they have to.
I<The Eighth, and Final Rule of Sys::Syslog is:>
If this is your first use of Sys::Syslog, you must read the doc.
=head1 EXAMPLES
An example:
openlog($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.

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?
