+libsyslog
+=========
+The code (to be publiced shortly) in this crate provides an API implementing
+the standard Rust logging facade using the system's syslog. That is, it
+implements the [Log][] trait of the [log] crate for native syslog, typically
+implemented in C and residing in libc.
+
+Why?
+----
+How does this differ from the handful of other pre-existing syslog crates? This
+one uses the system library implementation rather attempting to rewrite it in
+Rust. The hope is thus to have a crate that works on pretty much any platform
+with syslog, avoiding bugs from making assumptions on implementation specific
+details.
+
+The need arose from a desire to use syslog on illumos, a platform where most of
+the other syslog crates fail to even build and other(s) instead fail at
+runtime.
+
+So far this code has only been attempted on illumos. Reports on success or
+failures to use it on other platforms are most welcome.
