Re: CLOG support in syslogd
When I cat a log file that is using a circular log format it appears
as clear text. Here's an example:
$ cat /var/log/system.log
Oct 28 23:18:58 m0n0wall /kernel: Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system
process `vnlru' to stop...stopped
Oct 28 23:18:58 m0n0wall /kernel: Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system
process `bufdaemon' to stop...stopped
Oct 28 23:18:58 m0n0wall /kernel: Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system
process `syncer' to stop...stopped
Oct 28 23:18:58 m0n0wall /kernel:
Oct 28 23:18:58 m0n0wall /kernel: syncing disks...
Oct 28 23:18:58 m0n0wall /kernel: done
Oct 28 23:18:58 m0n0wall /kernel: Uptime: 1d3h35m0s
There is a tiny portion at the very end of the file (less than 10
byes) that appear binary but the rest is pure text.
