This patch adds the new global statement:
ring <name> [desc <desc>] [format <format>] [size <size>] [maxlen <length>]
Creates a named ring buffer which could be used on log line for instance.
<desc> is an optionnal description string of the ring. It will appear on
CLI. By default, <name> is reused to fill this field.
<format> is the log format used when generating syslog messages. It may be
one of the following :
iso A message containing only the ISO date, followed by the text.
The PID, process name and system name are omitted. This is
designed to be used with a local log server.
raw A message containing only the text. The level, PID, date, time,
process name and system name are omitted. This is designed to be
used in containers or during development, where the severity only
depends on the file descriptor used (stdout/stderr). This is
the default.
rfc3164 The RFC3164 syslog message format. This is the default.
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3164)
rfc5424 The RFC5424 syslog message format.
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424)
short A message containing only a level between angle brackets such as
'<3>', followed by the text. The PID, date, time, process name
and system name are omitted. This is designed to be used with a
local log server. This format is compatible with what the systemd
logger consumes.
timed A message containing only a level between angle brackets such as
'<3>', followed by ISO date and by the text. The PID, process
name and system name are omitted. This is designed to be
used with a local log server.
<length> is the maximum length of event message stored into the ring,
including formatted header. If the event message is longer
than <length>, it would be truncated to this length.
<name> is the ring identifier, which follows the same naming convention as
proxies and servers.
<size> is the optionnal size in bytes. Default value is set to BUFSIZE.
Note: Historically sink's name and desc were refs on const strings. But with new
configurable rings a dynamic allocation is needed.
