In this case, I am currently working on an IPv6-anonymiation function for rsyslog. There are some systems that support an unsigned 128 bit integer when using GCC or clang […]

In doing this, I also noticed some bugs with the ipv4-module. Now there are two options: try to […]

However, the debug output has a way bigger potential in a plethora of uses. We are currently working on refactoring the debug output. This has been […]
