    yep.

    not exactly. it's specific to the particular syslogd that is installed
    by default with most linux distributions.

    other syslog daemons either don't need it, or don't support the "-"
    convention - e.g. syslog-ng always syncs the logfiles on write, and
    provides no way to turn it off. if it wasn't for that, i'd be using
    syslog-ng
