/*!
 * \brief An implementation of a syslog sink backend
 *
 * The backend provides support for the syslog protocol, defined in RFC3164.
 * The backend sends log records to a remote host via UDP. The host name can
 * be specified by calling the \c set_target_address method. By default log
 * records will be sent to localhost:514. The local address can be specified
 * as well, by calling the \c set_local_address method. By default syslog
 * packets will be sent from any local address available.
 *
 * It is safe to create several sink backends with the same local addresses -
 * the backends within the process will share the same socket. The same applies
 * to different processes that use the syslog backends to send records from
 * the same socket. However, it is not guaranteed to work if some third party
 * facility is using the socket.
 *
 * On systems with native syslog implementation it may be preferable to utilize
 * the POSIX syslog API instead of direct socket management in order to bypass
 * possible security limitations that may be in action. To do so one has to pass
 * the <tt>use_impl = native</tt> to the backend constructor. Note, however,
 * that in that case you will only have one chance to specify syslog facility and
 * process identification string - on the first native syslog backend construction.
 * Other native syslog backends will ignore these parameters.
 * Obviously, the \c set_local_address and \c set_target_address
 * methods have no effect for native backends. Using <tt>use_impl = native</tt>
 * on platforms with no native support for POSIX syslog API will have no effect.
