#include <casper/cap_syslog.h>

DESCRIPTION
The functions cap_syslog() cap_vsyslog() cap_openlog() cap_closelog()
cap_setlogmask() are respectively equivalent to syslog(3), vsyslog(3),
openlog(3), closelog(3), setlogmask(3) except that the connection to the
system.syslog service needs to be provided.
EXAMPLES
The following example first opens a capability to casper and then uses
this capability to create the system.syslog casper service to log
messages.
cap_channel_t *capcas, *capsyslog;
/* Open capability to Casper. */
capcas = cap_init();
if (capcas == NULL)
err(1, "Unable to contact Casper");
/* Enter capability mode sandbox. */
if (cap_enter() < 0 && errno != ENOSYS)
err(1, "Unable to enter capability mode");
/* Use Casper capability to create capability to the system.syslog service. */
capsyslog = cap_service_open(capcas, "system.syslog");
if (capsyslog == NULL)
err(1, "Unable to open system.syslog service");
/* Close Casper capability, we don't need it anymore. */
cap_close(capcas);
HISTORY
The cap_syslog service first appeared in FreeBSD 10.3.
