[syslog-ng]The right way for kmsg: file or pipe and where is /proc/kmsg if proc is deprecated in 2.6?

[Peter]

Hello.

I would like to ask two questions.

1. There is some strange difference between examples and documentation. In
reference there is written that /proc/kmsg is file, but in all examples I
found it is pipe. What is it pipe or a file in Linux (2.6)?

2. Proc is deprecated in linux kernel 2.6. What is the substitution for
/proc/kmsg from the point of kernel logging?

BTW. There is a small bug in reference manual. Example 3-9. Using the
tcp() is broken and is not working. I think it should look like: 
destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3" port(1999) localport(999)); };
instead of:
destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3" port(1999); localport(999)); };
A least this works for me.
And on pages of reference manual link on "Note" picture is broken. :)

Thank you for your attention,
Peter.
