DETAILED DESCRIPTION

CONSTRUCTOR & DESTRUCTOR DOCUMENTATION

   log4cpp::SyslogAppender::SyslogAppender (const std::string & name, const
       std::string & syslogName, int facility = LOG_USER)
       Instantiate a SyslogAppender with given name and name and facility for
       syslog.

       Note that the C syslog API is process global, so  instantion of a
       second SyslogAppender will 'overwrite' the  syslog name of the first.

       Parameters:

       name   The name of the Appender

       syslogName
              The ident parameter in the openlog(3) call.

       Parameters:

       event  the LoggingEvent to log.

       Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

   virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::close () [virtual]
       Calls closelog(3) to close the syslog file descriptor.

       Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

   virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::open () [protected, virtual]
       Calls openlog(3).

   virtual bool log4cpp::SyslogAppender::reopen () [virtual]
       Calls closelog(3) and openlog(3).

       Reimplemented from log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

   int log4cpp::SyslogAppender::toSyslogPriority (Priority::Value priority)
       [static]
       Translates a log4cpp priority to a syslog priority.

       Parameters:

       priority
              The log4cpp priority.

       Returns:
           the syslog priority.
