[Bug libc/13464] New: Support RFC5424-style syslog


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13464

             Bug #: 13464
           Summary: Support RFC5424-style syslog
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: isoma@jellybaby.net
    Classification: Unclassified


Since RFC 5424, the IETF have defined syslog's wire encoding and format.
However the syslog library calls don't support the extended features (including
subsecond timestamps as per bug #11715).

Hence this enhancement request.

Other new features that aren't yet available through libc calls are arbitrary
STRUCTURED-DATA and the MSGID element.

I don't know if making these changes would mean a new library call, but I
suspect it might.
