syslogc
collects messages from the
syslogd(8) memory buffer
specified by the logname argument.
For syslogc
to work,
syslogd(8) must be
configured with one or more memory buffer logs (see
syslog.conf(5) for
details) and have a reporting socket location specified on the commandline
(using the -s
option to
syslogd(8)).
By default, syslogc
will query the
specified log and return all entries to standard output.
The options are as follows:
-C

reporting_socketThe syslogc
command first appeared in
OpenBSD 3.5.
The buffer space used for writing logs through the socket is limited. Thus it is possible to lose logs when running in continuous mode. Losses are reported on standard error.
