The intent has always been to use pipe() for named pipes, and file() for everything else.
I'm now thinking about introducing a device() destination/source which would be equivalent to file(), but follow_freq() would not be allowed.
What do you think?
I like the idea. It can also give hints to syslog-ng so that it won't try to use readiness notification systems that don't support devices (yes, I know 3.3 does some auto-detection, but I don't always trust the OS to be reasonable :P). -- |8]
