socklog-check attempts to connect to a socklog(8) unix service and reports whether the connection attempt
       succeeded or not.

       It  connects  to the datagram oriented unix domain socket address, and reports success through the return
       code.  If address is not specified, socklog-check attempts to connect to /dev/log.

       When running services that use the syslog  facility  under  runit's  service  supervision,  socklog-check
       should  be  added  to the top of the service's run script to ensure that no syslog messages are generated
       until a syslog service is up and running to process the messages, e.g.:

        #!/bin/sh
        socklog-check || exit 1
        exec service_using_syslog

       On success socklog-check returns 0.

       On error, socklog-check prints a message to standard error and exits 111.
