Log4c [syslog(3)](/syslog/3.md) appender interface.

The syslog appender uses the [syslog(3)](/syslog/3.md) interface for logging. The log4c priorities are mapped to the syslog priorities and the appender name is used as a syslog identifier. 1 default syslog appender is defined: `'syslog'`.

The following examples shows how to define and use syslog appenders.

```
log4c_appender_t* myappender;
myappender = log4c_appender_get("myappender");
log4c_appender_set_type(myappender, &log4c_appender_type_syslog);
```
