		<h1>The syslog service</h1>
		<p>
    		syslog is a
    		<a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/s6-rc-compile.html#source">longrun service</a>
    		to support legacy applications
    		that only support logging through a syslog socket.
		</p>
		<p>
    		It runs an instance of
    		<a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-socklog.html">s6-socklog</a>
    		with the socket set to <code>/var/run/log</code>.
    		The logs are then processed by
    		<a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-log.html">s6-log</a>
    		(see <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/logdir.html">logging directory</a>).
