5 Description: The sysklogd package implements two system log daemons. The
6 syslogd daemon is the general system logging daemon which
7 is responsible for handling requests for syslog services.
8 This version of syslogd is similar to the standard Berkeley
9 product but with a number of compatible extensions. The
10 klogd daemon runs either standalone or as a client of syslogd.
11 Klogd 'listens' to kernel log messages, prioritizes them and
12 routes them to either output files or to syslogd. This
13 version of klogd will optionally translate kernel addresses
14 to their symbolic equivalents if provided with a system map.
