Hello!
I'm writing a daemon, which chroots after initialization. It uses
syslog(3) extensively.
I have already figured out, that I need to openlog() with LOG_NDELAY,
otherwise syslog() will not find the syslogd's socket.
Is there a similar trick to make it use the local timezone instead of
UTC?

Evidently, read's heuristics are better. At least, for this task. I'm,

I'm writing a message-digest utility, which operates on file and
can use either stdio:

or mmap:

I don't think, there is a serial port on this laptop. It has a built-in
