NAME

POE::Filter::Syslog - syslog parser

VERSION

version 1.22

SYNOPSIS

  $filter->get_one_start($buffer);
  while( my $record = $filter->get_one() ) {

  }

DESCRIPTION

This module follows the POE::Filter specification. Actually, it technically supports both the older specification (get) and the newer specification (get_one). If, at some point, POE deprecates the older specification, this module will drop support for it. As such, only use of the newer specification is recommended.
