The message format when writing to local sockets were inconsistent since commit 4de2e8a, for example: $ ./logger --stderr test <5>Mär 4 11:03:30 logger: test $ ./logger --socket /dev/log --stderr test <5>1 2015-03-04T11:03:31.699841+0100 ubuntu1404esp rger - [timeQuality ... This change makes the --socket format to default use the same format as the first message, as what used to be the case earlier. Notice that full-blown RFC format on the log socket causes problems with receivers who do not expect such format, like rsyslog.
