 *                    ###  SYSLOG/TCP CODE ###
 * This is code for syslog/tcp. This code would belong to a separate
 * file - but I have put it here to avoid hassle with CVS. Over
 * time, I expect rsyslog to utilize liblogging for actual network
 * I/O. So the tcp code will be (re)moved some time. I don't like
 * to add a new file to cvs that I will push to the attic in just
 * a few weeks (month at most...). So I simply add the code here.
 *
 * Place no unrelated code between this comment and the
 * END tcp comment!

 * hard to do something intelligent in this case. With this
 * implementation here, we can not block and/or defer. Things are
 * probably a bit better when we move to liblogging. The alternative
 * would be to enhance the current select server with buffering and
 * write descriptors. This seems not justified, given the expected
 * short life span of this code (and the unlikeliness of this event).
 * rgerhards 2005-07-06
 * This function is now expected to stay. Libloging won't be used for
 * that purpose. I have added the param "len", because it is known by the
 * caller and so safes us some time. Also, it MUST be given because there
 * may be NULs inside msg so that we can not rely on strlen(). Please note
 * that the restrictions outlined above do not existin in multi-threaded
 * mode, which we assume will now be most often used. So there is no
 * real issue with the potential message loss in single-threaded builds.
 * rgerhards, 2006-11-30
 * 
 * In order to support compressed messages via TCP, we must support an
 * octet-counting based framing (LF may be part of the compressed message).
 * We are now supporting the same mode that is available in IETF I-D
 * syslog-transport-tls-05 (current at the time of this writing). This also
 * eases things when we go ahead and implement that framing. I have now made
 * available two cases where this framing is used: either by explitely
 * specifying it in the config file or implicitely when sending a compressed
 * message. In the later case, compressed and uncompressed messages within
 * the same session have different framings. If it is explicitely set to
 * octet-counting, only this framing mode is used within the session.
