/**
 * This class specifies all methods common to syslog senders. It also implements
 * some generic ways to send data. Actual syslog senders (e.g. UDP, TCP, ...) shall
 * be derived from this class.
 *
 * This is a limited-capability implementation of a syslog message together
 * with all its properties. It is limit to what is currently needed and may
 * be extended as further need arises.
