What is librelp-dev
librelp-dev is:
RELP provides reliable event logging over the network.
RELP (and hence) librelp assures that no message is lost, not even when connections break and a peer becomes unavailable. The current version of RELP has a minimal window of opportunity for message duplication after a session has been broken due to network problems. In this case, a few messages may be duplicated (a problem that also exists with plain tcp syslog). Future versions of RELP will address this shortcoming.
Please note that RELP is a general-purpose, extensible logging protocol. Even though it was designed to solve the urgent need of rsyslog-to-rsyslog communication, RELP supports many more applications. Extensible command verbs provide ample opportunity to extend the protocol without affecting existing applications.
