How does syslog-ng handle write to disk
Description

How does Syslog-ng handle write request to file. For example when syslog-ng decides to write the message to /var/log/messages file, does it send that request to OS kernel to write or syslog-ng has its own mechanism of writing to disk?
Resolution

Syslog-ng uses the OS provided API for file and network I/O.
