[Mono-devel-list] System.Diagnostic.EventLog

[Robert Brown]

J-
  Is there a place on the web that I can find the code for the P/Invoke to
syslog so i can read and write from/to it?  I'm a newbie to the
P/Invoke<->Linux stuff, so probably any type of resource is better than
none.

  Could the mapping of the syslog facilities and priorities be done in a
config file?
