log: syslog driver
Provide a log driver that broadcasts RFC 3164 messages to syslog servers. rsyslog is one implementation of such a server. The messages are sent to the local broadcast address 255.255.255.255 on port 514. The environment variable log_hostname can be used to provide the HOSTNAME field for the messages. The optional TIMESTAMP field of RFC 3164 is not provided. Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk@gmx.de> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
