Hello,

I'm looking for a linux library that would implement the syslog functions using the new standard format in RFC 5424. Of all the new things in the standard, I'm particularly interested in the timestamp resolution - I need to log timestamps with fractions of a second.

Already tried searching google to no avail (only found a NetBSD libc patch, but I need linux). Since syslog-ng can now parse these messages, I thought maybe someone here may have heard about it if such a library existed.

Well, syslog-ng uses a library called "eventlog" and that has support for replacing the libc() functions. I've planned to add support for the new format, but I didn't get there yet. eventlog is BSD licensed and is platform independent, although the libc-replacement functions might not be completely portable, I don't think anyone uses it that way. -- Bazsi
