=head1 NAME
syslog-facility - Setup and remove LOCALx facility for sysklogd
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<syslog-facility> B<set> I<set_of_priority> I<log_file> ...
B<syslog-facility> B<remove> I<facility>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<syslog-facility> can be used to setup a syslog facility and to remove
it. The primary use of this perl script is to allow packages to
automatically setup (and remove) a LOCALx facility. With the
first argument beeing I<set>, it will output a string containing
the first free LOCALx facility that has been assigned to your request :
# syslog-facility set all /var/log/sympa
local0
This does mean that a line "local0.* /var/log/sympa" has been
added to the syslog.conf file. If no free LOCALx facility has been
found, then it outputs "none" (with a end of line).
You can use different set of priorities (most of what syslogd supports) :
# syslog-facility set 'all;!=debug;' /var/log/sympa '=debug' /var/log/sympa-d
local1
Pay particular attention to shell escapes since ';','!' have special
meanings for them. The syntax is similar to syslog.conf except that
'*' must be replaced by 'all'.
In that case you will have two lines added two the syslog.conf file :
local1.*;local1.!=debug /var/log/sympa
local1.=debug /var/log/sympa-d
If the first argument is I<remove>, then it will remove all references
to a precise LOCALx facility. Example :
# syslog-facility remove local1
It will remove all references to the local1 facility.
=head1 BUGS
The script doesn't know about multi-lines configuration (ie with '\').
With a line like that "mail,local0.* /anything", "syslog-facility remove
local0" would remove the entire line. It should not be a problem since
lines installed by this script cannot use this syntax.
