# Syslog
A Simple wrapper for the UNIX syslog system calls that might be handy
if you're writing a server in Ruby. For the details of the syslog(8)
architecture and constants, see the syslog(3) manual page of your
platform.
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'syslog'
```
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install syslog
## Usage
```ruby
require "syslog"
Syslog.open("webrick", Syslog::LOG_PID,
Syslog::LOG_DAEMON | Syslog::LOG_LOCAL3)
```
## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
