Tools such as Postfix use slashes in process names for hierarchy
(postfix/qmgr). By allowing these slashes, syslogd is able to extract
the process name and process ID nicely, so that they can be stored in
RFC 5424 message fields.

The refactoring of the syslogd code to format messages using iovecs
slightly altered the output of syslogd by placing the facility/priority
after the hostname, as opposed to printing it right before. This change
reverts the behaviour to be consistent with how it was before.

The changes made in r326573 required that messages always start with an
RFC 3164 timestamp. It looks like certain devices, but also certain
logging libraries (Python 3's "logging" package) simply don't generate
RFC 3164 formatted messages containing a timestamp.
Make timestamps optional again. When the timestamp is missing, also
assume that the message contains no hostname. The first word of the
message likely already belongs to the message payload.

To conform to RFC 5426, this function is intended to truncate messages
if they exceed the message size limits. Unfortunately, the amount of
space was computed the wrong way around, causing messages to be
truncated entirely.

- Move all of the code responsible for transmitting log messages into a
separate function, fprintlog_write().
- Instead of manually modifying a list of iovecs, add a structure
iovlist with some helper functions.
- Alter the F_FORW (UDP message forwarding) case to also use iovecs like
the other cases. Use sendmsg() instead of sendto().
- In the case of F_FORW, truncate the message to a size dependent on the
address family (AF_INET, AF_INET6), as proposed by RFC 5426.
- Move all traditional message formatting into fprintlog_bsd(). Get rid
of some of the string copying and snprintf()'ing. Simply emit more
iovecs to get the job done.
- Increase ttymsg()'s limit of 7 iovecs to 32. Add a definition for this
limit, so it can be reused by iovlist.
- Add fprintlog_rfc5424() to emit RFC 5424 formatted log entries.
- Add a "-O" command line option to enable RFC 5424 formatting. It would
have been nicer if we supported "-o rfc5424", just like on NetBSD.
Unfortunately, the "-o" flag is already used for a different purpose
on FreeBSD.
- Don't truncate hostnames in the RFC 5424 case, as suggested by that
specific RFC.
For people interested in using this, this feature can be enabled by
adding the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
syslogd_flags="-s -O rfc5424"

Now that all of parsemsg() parses both RFC 3164 and 5424 messages and
hands them to logmsg(), alter the latter to properly forward all RFC
5424 message attributes to fprintlog(). While there, make some minor
cleanups to this code:
- Instead of extending the existing code that compares hostnames and
message bodies for deduplication, print all of the relevant message
fields into a single string that we can compare ('saved').
- No longer let the behaviour of fprintflog() depend on whether
'msg == NULL' to print repetition messages, Simply decompose this
function into fprintlog_first() and fprintlog_successive(). This
makes the interpretation of function arguments less magical and also
allows us to get consistent behaviour across RFC 3164 and 5424 when
adding support for the RFC 5424 output format.
- As RFC 5424 syslog messages have a dedicated application name field,
alter the repetition messages to be printed on behalf of syslogd on
the current system. Change these messages to use the local hostname,
so that it's obvious which syslogd instance detected the repetition.
Remove f_prevhost, as it has now become unnecessary.
- Remove a useless strdup(). Deconsting the message string is safe in
this specific case.
Syslogd currently uses the RFC 3164 format for its log messages.One
limitation of RFC 3164 is that it cannot be used to log entries with
sub-second precision timestamps. One of our users has expressed a desire
for doing this for doing some basic performance measurements.
This change attempts to make a first cut at switching to RFC 5424 based
logging. The first step is to alter syslogd's input path to properly
parse such messages. It alters the logmsg() prototype to match the
fields of RFC 5424. The parsemsg() function is extended to parse both
RFC 3164 and 5424 messages and call into logmsg() accordingly.
Additional changes include:
- Introducing proper parsing of timestamps, so that they can be printed
in any desired output format. This means we need to infer the year and
timezone for RFC 3164 timestamps.
- Removing ISKERNEL. This can now be realised by simply providing an
APP-NAME (== "kernel").
- Extending RFC 3164 parsing to trim off the TAG prefix and using that
to derive APP-NAME and PROCID.
- Increase MAXLINE. RFC 5424 mentions we should support 2k messages.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
