syslog_r for Linux?

Question

Folks, I can\'t find the re-entrant version of syslog() for Linux...is there one? And if no, what do you? The obvious answer is to move logging facility into separate thread

Answer 1

According to the POSIX specification, the syslog function is already thread-safe, and so implemented in Linux. So syslog_r is unnecessary - use syslog if you need a reentrant logger function.
