<h1>RFC3195 Input Module</h1>
<p><b>Module Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; im3195</b></p>
<p><b>Author: </b>Rainer Gerhards
&lt;rgerhards@adiscon.com&gt;</p>
<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
<p>Receives syslog messages via RFC 3195. The RAW profile is fully implemented and the 
COOKED profile is provided in an experimental state. This module uses
<a href="http://www.liblogging.org">liblogging</a> for the actual protocol handling.</p>
<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>$Input3195ListenPort &lt;port&gt;</strong><br>
The port on which imklog listens for RFC 3195 messages. The default port is 601
(the IANA-assigned port)</li>
</ul>
<b>Caveats/Known Bugs:</b>
<p>Due to no demand at all for RFC3195, we have converted rfc3195d
to this input module, but we have NOT conducted any testing. Also,
the module does not yet properly handle the recovery case. If someone
intends to put this module into production, good testing should be
cunducted. It also is a good idea to notify the rsyslog project that you intend to use
it in production. In this case, we'll probably give the module another
cleanup. We don't do this now because so far it looks just like a big
waste of time.
<p>Currently only a single listener can be defined. That one binds to all interfaces.</p>
<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
<p>The following sample accepts syslog messages via RFC 3195 on port 1601.
