# 1.19 27-Apr-2023 gnezdo

Use __size_t which is available in syslog.h

Directly including sys/syslog.h would fail due to size_t
being unknown.

OK millert, miod


# 1.18 26-Apr-2023 gnezdo

Declare sendsyslog to match its man page

This simplifies syzkaller revival after the removal of __syscall.

# 1.16 08-Aug-2017 bluhm

Kernel sendsyslog(2), libc syslog(3), and syslogd(8) restrict and
truncate the length of a syslog message to 8192 bytes. Use one
global define LOG_MAXLINE for all of them.

# 1.15 14-Jul-2014 deraadt

Convert syslog_r(3) to using sendsyslog(2). This ensures that syslog_r(3)
can be used anywhere (signal handler, stack protector fault handler) as
long as the format string does not contain floating point.
ok tedu miod beck


# 1.14 10-Jul-2014 deraadt

Add new sendsyslog(const char *, size_t) system call which simply passes
a message up into syslogd's /dev/log interface. This will be used to make
syslog_r work during file descriptor exhaustion, or inside sandboxes which
prohibit socket, connect, sendto, etc.
The system call is being added about a week before the library and daemon
changes.

# 1.13 19-Oct-2010 deraadt

Remove the LOG_MAKEPRI macro. It has been broken (the << 3 is wrong) since
the dawn of time. A few systems fixed^Hchanged it, thus breaking other code.
Since the usage of it is now a mess, the right path from here on out is to
*remove* the macro forever and cope with the (very minor) fallout.
