This patch changes the syntax for per-rule log rotation and makes it
possible to have enable log rotation and RFC5424 output formatting.
The new syntax looks like this:
EXPR ACTION ;OPT,OPT,...
Example:
*.notice -/var/log/messages ;rotate=1M:5,RFC5424

This patch is a major refactor of the priority and facility parsing in
syslogd. The "new" facilities are taken from FreeBSD and are de facto
interpretations of facilities otherwise "reserved for system use", as
GLIBC syslog.h puts it.

... and LOG_CRON_SOL, but only for completness.

- Import pidfile() v1.11 from OpenBSD and libite (-lite) project
- Import utimensat() replacement, for systems that don't have it
- Simplify syslogd and klogd program start and PID file creation
- Rip out -i and -I from klogd, uses old PID file functions, and
they're only kill(1) wrappers anyway

- Massive refactor of the .conf file parsing
- Add queue.h v1.43 from OpenBSD, has _SAFE versions unlike GLIBC queue.h
- Use queue.h list macros instead of homegrown linked list
- Adopt NetBSD reconf style; on failure to reload keep old config

Even on my laptop it sometimes takes a bit too long for tshark to start
up and syslogd to actually FWD the $MSG to remote.

This special build option enabled reading syslog messages from stdin on
syslogd. It also disabled all other standard features of syslogd, which
made it a bit too far from the real thing.
A better approac is to start syslogd with -p /tmp/foo and let a test
application, e.g. logger -u /tmp/foo, connect using the standard UNIX
domain socket API.

This massive patch brings support for parsing incoming syslog messages,
remote or local, to determine if format is RFC5424 or the older RFC3164.
For logging syslogd currently defaults to RFC3164 for local files and
supports RFC5424 for sending to remote servers.

We want to use -b for binding to an address:port, like FreeBSD/NetBSD
supports using this option. Unfortunately breaks existing setups in
the wild already.

access an older GIT version, or released tarball.

Emacs is by default fooled into defaulting to conf-file-mode for
syslog.conf.5, so we add hinting to all man pages for consistency.

The '-n' option is commonly used for remote servers, so let's
consolidate the log rotation under the '-r' flag instead, with
the same syntax as previously established in syslog.conf
