I have a test server that receives records of the following form: <22><standard syslog log<22><another standard syslog record>, etc, etc What is the meaning of <22>? Can I rely on this as a record separator?
See a syslog protocol document, such as RFC 3164, as well as the local sys/syslog.h header file for details on the format of a syslog message. For a testing UDP syslog daemon implementation in Perl, see: http://sial.org/code/perl/scripts/syslog_snarf.pl
