This project is not maintained anymore. I recommend you using https://github.com/influxdata/go-syslog/blob/develop/rfc5424/builder.go instead, which has all the features this library provided plus tons of others. It is also maintained by the InfluxDB engineering team, which ensures continuity on development.

• Port syslog pkg dial functionality and adapt it with this formatter. The syslog only supports the RFC3164.
• Add support for multiple structured data chunks. Right now only supports one, with the name context@{pid}.
• Add support for standard structured data SD-ID. More info here.
