Sending to Syslog in Rust

A small library to write to local syslog.

Installation

syslog is available on crates.io and can be included in your Cargo enabled project like this:

toml [dependencies] syslog = "~2.1.0"

documentation

Reference documentation is available here.

Example

```rust extern crate syslog;

use syslog::{Facility,Severity};

fn main() { match syslog::unix(Facility::LOGUSER) { Err(e) => println!("impossible to connect to syslog: {:?}", e), Ok(writer) => { let r = writer.send(Severity::LOGALERT, String::from("hello world")); if r.is_err() { println!("error sending the log {}", r.err().expect("got error")); } } } } ```

The struct syslog::Logger implements Log from the log crate, so it can be used as backend for other logging systems.
