Comment (by eighthave): The workings of both logcat and syslog are not really officially documented anywhere, or at least I've never found it. So it seems source code is the way. Android's libc is called Bionic, so that's where the syslog calls come from: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic And typical Android, liblog and lgocat source code is somewhere else entirely: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core As far as I know, there is never a `syslogd` running on Android, so I don't understand out the strings get from `syslog()` to logcat. I imagine it is via `/dev/log/*` device or something similar. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32036#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
