log system messages
syslogd [-f config_file] [-m mark_interval]
The syslogd utility reads and logs messages to the system console, log files, other machines and/or users as specified by its configuration file.
The utility reads its configuration file when it starts up and whenever it receives a hangup signal. For information on the format of the configuration file, see syslog.conf in the Files chapter.
The utility reads messages from an Internet domain socket specified in /etc/services and receives messages — via Receive() — from QNX native processes.
The name qnx/syslog is registered locally so that only local processes can find it (the syslog() function won't do a network-wide search).
To force processes to use a remote syslogd, the SYSLOG environment variable may be set to the desired node number.
The message sent to syslogd should consist of a single line. The message can contain a priority code, which should be a preceding decimal number in angle braces. For example:
<5>
This priority code should map into the priorities defined in the include file sys/syslog.h.
