* WHAT

  logging.[ch] provides a syslog(3)-compatible logging interface for

  logging to stderr. It could be easily extended to support other

  forms of logging, as well: stdout, file, network, etc.

* WHY

  The syslog(3) interface is simple, yet robust. However, sometimes

  it's useful to log to stderr rather than to the system logger, e.g.,

  in an interactive command-line application, or when debugging a

  service running in the foreground. 

  Some UNIX systems support simultaneous logging both to syslog and

  stderr, but not stderr alone. The logging implementation provided

  here permits stderr-only logging using an interface that's

  compatible with the (relevant parts of the) syslog(3) interface.

  See logging.h for the API documentation, and logtest.c for examples

  of how to use it in your own programs.

* INSTALLING

  The source code provided isn't a library as such, so it doesn't need

  to be installed. Just copy the logging.[ch] source files into your

  project. (Also see LICENSE below.)

  The source has no dependencies beyond the ISO C standard library and

  a syslog interface that includes the vsyslog(3) function.

  The included Makefile builds an example application, logtest, whose

  source code demonstrates how to use the logging interface.

* LICENSE

  The code included here has no license; it is dedicated to the public

  domain. See the file COPYING, included in this distribution, for the

  specifics.
