IM_TCP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual IM_TCP(8)NAME
tcp input module — syslogd(8) input module used to receive from tcp con‐
nections
SYNOPSIS
tcp [-a] [-q] [-h host] [-p port]
DESCRIPTION
tcp input module allows syslogd(8) daemon to use tcp IPC.
EXAMPLES
· The following command installs syslogd(8) daemon and activates tcp
system accepting remote connections on local address machine‐
name.example.com port 3210:
syslogd -i 'tcp -h machinename.somedomainexample.com -p 3210'
· The following command installs syslogd(8) daemon and activates tcp
system accepting remote connections on all local addresses port 3210:
syslogd -i 'tcp -p 3210'
· The following is the similar to the previous, but extracts the host
name from the message:
syslogd -i 'tcp -a -p 3210'
· The following is the same, but avoids adding full fomain (FQDN):
syslogd -i 'tcp -q -p 3210'
