[syslog-ng]Where did netmask() come from ?

[Amodiovalerio Verde]

This function can be found in filters.c , I found it while looking source
code to apply some patch and define new macro.

It accept ip address in the form :

127.0.0.1
192.168.10.1/255.255.255.0
192.168.10.1/24

I think it appears somewhere in version 1.5 but Balazs could confirm that.

Talking about macro and function, i've added a new macro that could be of
some interest for somebody, it's just a $CONTENT macro that expand into the
message part of a message WITHOUT the program name and the pid.

Tell me if it could be of any help to someone
