Dial in Go

Posted by GoDoc

Dial establishes a connection to a log daemon by connecting to address raddr on the specified network. Each write to the returned writer sends a log message with the facility and severity (from priority) and tag. If tag is empty, the os.Args[0] is used. If network is empty, Dial will connect to the local syslog server. Otherwise, see the documentation for net.Dial for valid values of network and raddr.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"log/syslog"
)

func main() {
	sysLog, err := syslog.Dial("tcp", "localhost:1234",
		syslog.LOG_WARNING|syslog.LOG_DAEMON, "demotag")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(sysLog, "This is a daemon warning with demotag.")
	sysLog.Emerg("And this is a daemon emergency with demotag.")
}
