Implemented, for example:
logger --rfc5424 --sd-id zoo@123 \
--sd-param tiger=\"hungry\" \
--sd-param zebra=\"running\" \
--sd-id manager@123 \
--sd-param onMeeting=\"yes\" \
"this is message"
produces:
<13>1 2015-10-01T14:07:59.168662+02:00 ws kzak - - [timeQuality tzKnown="1" isSynced="1" syncAccuracy="218616"][zoo@123 tiger="hungry" zebra="running"][manager@123 onMeeting="yes"] this is message
The implementation also allows to specify standardized SD-ELEMENTs like
origin, meta and timeQuality (then build-in timeQuality is disabled).
It would be nice to test it against some advanced syslog.
