i am writing a program which willcopy all the lines from system log file /var/log/messages and put it in a user log file
i am using syslog with syscall3 but when i am using write system cal it is not able to write anything
fd = open(/var/log/messages) fd1 = open(myfile)
read(fd, buffer,count) write(fd, buffer, count)
Why do you need syslog, syscall3 etc. ?
