Its README describes it as a simple command-line program for logging different sources to syslog, based on the bsdutils `logger` utility shipped with many Linux distributions. ### How it is used The project exists in a narrow systems-scripting niche: it keeps the familiar `logger` shape but adds behavior for larger local log lines, indented line continuation, remote syslog servers over TCP or UDP, Unix sockets, tags, priorities, file input, process IDs, and stderr mirroring. The package-manager role is correspondingly small: a Homebrew-installable `mlogger` executable for scripts or operators that need syslog submission with those patched behaviors rather than a full logging daemon. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
