Functions

func NewLogger

func NewLogger(p Priority, flag int) *log.Logger

NewLogger provides an object that implements the full log.Logger interface, but sends messages to Syslog instead; flag is passed as is to Logger; priority will be used for all messages sent using this interface. All messages are logged with priority p.

Types

type Priority

type Priority int

const (
	// From /usr/include/sys/syslog.h.
	// These are the same on Linux, BSD, and OS X.
	LOG_EMERG Priority = iota
	LOG_ALERT
	LOG_CRIT
	LOG_ERR
	LOG_WARNING
	LOG_NOTICE
	LOG_INFO
	LOG_DEBUG
)

type Writer

type Writer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Writer is a connection to a syslog server.

func Dial

func Dial(network, raddr string, priority Priority, prefix string) (w *Writer, err os.Error)

Dial establishes a connection to a log daemon by connecting to address raddr on the network net. Each write to the returned writer sends a log message with the given priority and prefix.

func New

func New(priority Priority, prefix string) (w *Writer, err os.Error)

New establishes a new connection to the system log daemon. Each write to the returned writer sends a log message with the given priority and prefix.

func (*Writer) Close

func (w *Writer) Close() os.Error

func (*Writer) Crit

func (w *Writer) Crit(m string) (err os.Error)

Crit logs a message using the LOG_CRIT priority.

func (*Writer) Debug

func (w *Writer) Debug(m string) (err os.Error)

Debug logs a message using the LOG_DEBUG priority.

func (*Writer) Emerg

func (w *Writer) Emerg(m string) (err os.Error)

Emerg logs a message using the LOG_EMERG priority.

func (*Writer) Err

func (w *Writer) Err(m string) (err os.Error)

ERR logs a message using the LOG_ERR priority.

func (*Writer) Info

func (w *Writer) Info(m string) (err os.Error)

Info logs a message using the LOG_INFO priority.

func (*Writer) Notice

func (w *Writer) Notice(m string) (err os.Error)

Notice logs a message using the LOG_NOTICE priority.

func (*Writer) Warning

func (w *Writer) Warning(m string) (err os.Error)

Warning logs a message using the LOG_WARNING priority.

func (*Writer) Write

func (w *Writer) Write(b []byte) (int, os.Error)

Write sends a log message to the syslog daemon.
