NAME

       lr_desyslog - strip syslog style header from logfile line

SYNOPSIS

       lr_desyslog program

DESCRIPTION

       lr_desyslog removes a syslog style timestamp, hostname, and program,
       and prints the remaining stuff given on stdin to stdout. E.g, when
       invoked as lr_desyslog qmail, it throws away things like ’Oct 29
       10:07:44 gelfand qmail:’, and keeps ’972810464.240168 end msg 6161’.
       This is useful when processing qmail logs, which are processed by
       splogger.

TODO

       Handle pid’s in program syslog tag.
