The core of the daemon does nothing but process messages and drop them: in order to make the daemon useful, the user must supply one or more "output modules". These modules are shared object files which expose a small ABI that is called by netconsd with the content and metadata for netconsole messages it receives. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to 0.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Oct 25 2023 Davide Cavalca - 0.4-1 - Update to 0.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
