libsyslogp is a library for parsing raw syslog messages. It currently supports RFC 3164 style BSD syslog messages (and some minor variants), and has limited support for newer RFC 5424 style syslog messages. This library has been written because there seem to be no independent C libraries for parsing raw syslog messages. The most complicated part of the task is to parse the date, which comes in a variety of formats; the source code for the built-in message parser of syslog-ng proved to be an invaluable reference for this. Nevertheless, the implementation here is independent of syslog-ng.
