Every 14 17 message that is logged records the date and time of the 15 18 event, and will generally also record the name of the 16 application that generated the message. 19 application that generated the message. When used in 17 20 conjunction with klogd, messages from the Linux kernel 18 can also be recorded. 21 can also be recorded.

Linux provides the klogctl() interface 127 which allows reading messages from the kernel ring buffer 128 independently from the file system. 129 130 If you answer 'N' here, klogd will use the more portable 131 approach of reading them from /proc or a device node. 132 However, this method requires the file to be available. 133 134 If in doubt, say 'Y'. 135 99 136 config LOGGER 100 137 bool "logger" 101 default n138 default y 102 139 select FEATURE_SYSLOG 103 140 help 104 141 The logger utility allows you to send arbitrary text 105 142 messages to the system log (i.e. the 'syslogd' utility) so 106 they can be logged. 143 they can be logged.
