[PATCH v20 13/14] log: add support for systemd journal

Stephen Hemminger stephen at networkplumber.org
Sat Mar 30 17:42:24 CET 2024


If DPDK application is being run as a systemd service, then
it can use the journal protocol which allows putting more information
in the log such as priority and other information.

The use of journal protocol is automatically detected and
handled.  Rather than having a dependency on libsystemd,
just use the protocol directly as defined in:
	https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_NATIVE_PROTOCOL/

+Messages can be redirected to systemd journal which is an enhanced version of syslog with the ``--log-journal`` option.
