o is it worth and clever to use asl in Tiger?
Reading this post in the archive:

But due to a bug in asl_open(), it doesn't. Sorry about that! The bug
will be fixed in 10.5 (Leopard).
"
makes me think asl could be like the Launchd Agent technology:
available but broken.
o why is there no constant defined for "Facility"?
o is there any real readable documentation somewhere?
I mean:
- the man page for all asl_ API is not a real man page. It
describes the facility globally but not the APIs. man fopen vs man asl
- the header asl.h is not headerdoc-ed
- there is no better documentation in the ADC Reference Library
o Facility name:
"We're encouraging developers to try to use a "Reverse ICANN" naming
convention for facility names to avoid namespace conflicts."
What does it mean exactly?
[Facility install], [Facility daemon], [Facility user], [Facility
authpriv] does not highlight any "Reverse ICANN" naming convention
AFAIK.
