go-syslog

This repository provides a very simple gsyslog package. The point of this package is to allow safe importing of syslog without introducing cross-compilation issues. The stdlib log/syslog cannot be imported on Windows systems, and without conditional compilation this adds complications.

Instead, gsyslog provides a very simple wrapper around log/syslog but returns a runtime error if attempting to initialize on a non Linux or OSX system.
