RFC 3164-compliant syslog message formatting
Introduction
Rfc3164 is a SyslogFormatter that produces syslog messages according to RFC 3164 (AKA
the BSD syslog protocol). The protocol is descriptive rather than prescriptive in that it
attempted to describe what was already present in the wild, rather than describe something new.
Although older than RFC 5424 it is still useful because rsyslog,
when configured to listen on a Unix Domain socket (i.e. /dev/log) will use the so-called
“special parser” to handle incoming messages, which does not support RFC 5424 (see e.g. here).
