1 The EventLog library aims to be a replacement of the simple syslog() API
2 provided on UNIX systems. The major difference between EventLog and syslog
3 is that EventLog tries to add structure to messages.
5 Where you had a simple non-structrured string in syslog() you have a
6 combination of description and tag/value pairs.
8 EventLog provides an interface to build, format and output an event record.
9 The exact format and output method can be customized by the administrator
10 via a configuration file.
