## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender::RemoteSyslogAppender | ( | const std::string & | name,
|  | const std::string & | syslogName,
|  | const std::string & | relayer,
|  | int | facility = `LOG_USER`,
|  | int | portNumber = `514` |
| ) |  |  |

Instantiate a RemoteSyslogAppender with given name and name and facility for syslog.

Parameters:

  | name | The name of the Appender
  | syslogName | The ident parameter in the openlog(3) call.
  | relayer | The IP address or hostname of a standard syslog host.
  | facility | The syslog facility to log to. Defaults to LOG_USER. Value '-1' implies to use the default.
  | portNumber | An alternative port number. Defaults to the standard syslog port number (514). Value '-1' implies to use the default.

log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender::~RemoteSyslogAppender | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

## Member Function Documentation

int log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender::toSyslogPriority | ( | Priority::Value | priority | ) | `[static]`

Translates a log4cpp priority to a syslog priority.

Parameters:

  | priority | The log4cpp priority.

Returns:
  the syslog priority.

bool log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender::reopen | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`
