[syslog-ng]pipes and tags

Hi, Syslog-ng sends to the program destination "<num>blah-blah" formatted lines, where num is a decimal-coded value of the priority and facility. I have a little application that strongly uses this number. There's a master syslog-ng in my system, and there is a chroot-ed syslog-ng with this little application. The two syslog-ngs communicates each other using named pipes found in the chroot-ed environment, but the decimal value does not come across the pipes, and I can only put a hexadecimal value with template("<$PRI>$MSG\n") back. Why doesn't use pipe() the same template like file()? Is it able to send this value in decimal format on the pipe? -- bSanyI
