I have implemented the syslog daemon service in my golang app. I used syslog.New in main package and it works but now, I want to export it to another package.
package config
import (
"log/syslog"
)
func LogBook() ? {
sysLog, _ := syslog.New(syslog.LOG_LOCAL0|syslog.LOG_ERROR, "myapp") // syslog.New returns (*Writer, error)
return ?
}
How can I implement this function? After, how can I use this variable 'sysLog' in other packages?
Thank you!
The answer is pretty simple as @Volker said,
func LogBook() *syslog.Writer {
sysLog, _ := syslog.New(syslog.LOG_LOCAL0|syslog.LOG_ERROR, "myapp")
return sysLog
}
Usage Example:
func main(){
w := LogBook()
w.Info("message")
}
