+ syslog-ng reads and logs messages to the system console, log
+ files, other machines and/or users as specified by its
+ configuration file.
+
+ The configuration file is read at startup and is reread after
+ receipt of a hangup (HUP) signal. When reloading the
+ configuration file, all destination files are closed and
+ reopened as appropriate. For more information about the
+ configuration file, see syslog-ng.conf(5).
+
+ Typically messages are sent to syslog-ng via a Unix domain
+ socket (/dev/log) or via UDP, to port 514 or to whatever
+ syslog/udp is defined to be in /etc/services. To receive
+ messages from the kernel, /dev/klog is opened for reading.
+
+ Messages sent to syslog-ng should be an entire line, prefixed
+ by a pri- ority code in between '<' and '>'. Definititions
+ of the recognised values can be found in the include file
+ <sys/syslog.h>.
+
+ syslog-ng can be configured to pass messages on to other
+ syslog-ng's and when doing so, it sends the message on with the
+ priority as a pre- fix.
