--- Comment #5 from crest@rlwinm.de ---
How about having to provide the a buffer with maximum alignment and its siz=
e?
If the buffer is too small it could return -1 times the required size. On
success it would still return 0. A bit clunky, but it allows C code to use a
VLA with alignment attribute (or just alloca()) to allocate the buffer on t=
he
callers stack if you really don't want to restrict the implementation to a
specific size and or call malloc().

While we're looking at nice OpenBSD APIs how could a sendsyslog() with jail
awareness look? Allow each jail to have its own logging socket passed into =
the
kernel and if non exists forward the messages to the kernel with the jail i=
d,
pid, login class, sid, pgid, euid, egid, etc. as ancillary data?
