IMPORTANT: if you intend to just USE the library

           (and NOT modify or port it), YOU NEED

           TO READ ONLY THE API DOCUMENTATION.

           There is a link to it directly from the

           documentation home page. If you don't find

           it, go to the file srAPI.h and syslogmessage.h

           for a description.



File testdrvr.c is a working sample program. You must edit

it because it contains a hardcoded IP address.



File testsrvr.c is a working sample server program. It is used to

demo the API - please don't expect it to be a full syslogd ;)

All it does is dump the message plus a few properties out to

stdout.



Thanks to Devin Kowatch, the library now compiles not

only under Win32, but also Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and AIX. I will 

move some more details on setting those things up.



There are two ways to build liblogging under linux/solaris.  

Method 1:

    Edit the 'makefile' to uncomment the needed bits to make it compile

    under your desired platform.

    run 'make'



Method 2:

    % cd <platform>

    % make

    Where <platform> is either linux or solaris

    

    

For AIX and FreeBSD, use the linux platform.



Many thanks to Albert Mietus for providing comments as well as some

syslog-sign code that I can use to pull ideas from.

I hope you will find the library useful,
