In the latter case, please see the +libcee-syslog(3) manual page for more information. + +In the former case, using the library is as easy as setting LD_PRELOAD +prior to executing a program (if one wants to control this on a +per-program basis), or adding the path to the installed library to +``/etc/ld.so.preload``. + License ------- |
