Hello, I am currently trying to evaluate the portability of Rsyslog to exokernel-like systems. I did not, however, find descriptions of the inner workings of the software in its documentation. As exploring the source code doesn't help me much at this stage, is there someone who could point me to sites or documents that actually tell of the system routines that are used ? Or, if possible, explain the different steps the program takes in order to fetch messages from the /dev/log socket and deliver them to /var/log. I do understand how the rsyslog config file is organized, how the message selection rules work, etc. I can't see the "road" the program takes to use this config file in order to do its work, or why it's organized the way it is : which functions create the initial socket, how are the system calls and functions linked to one another, etc. In other words, I don't understand the global pattern/diagram that illustrates how the program actually fulfills its role...
Cheers, and thanks in advance for the help !
