+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+eventlog: EventLog (Syslog API replacement)
+eventlog:
+eventlog: The EventLog library aims to be a replacement of the simple syslog()
+eventlog: API provided on UNIX systems. The major difference between EventLog
+eventlog: and syslog is that EventLog tries to add structure to messages.
+eventlog: Where you had a simple non-structrured string in syslog() you have a
+eventlog: combination of description and tag/value pairs. EventLog provides an
+eventlog: interface to build, format and output an event record.
