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.
	facility	The syslog facility to log to. Defaults to LOG_USER.
