NOTES

35       In  the  current  version  of  Solaris,  /dev/msglog  is  an  alias for
36       /dev/sysmsg.  In future versions of Solaris, writes to /dev/msglog  may
37       be directed into a  more general logging mechanism such as syslogd(1M).
38
39
40       syslog(3C)  provides a more general logging mechanism  than /dev/msglog
41       and should be used in preference to /dev/msglog whenever possible.
