errors.rs

  • Definitions used with the error_chain crate; no unsafe.

facility.rs

  • Defines a type for Syslog facilties and the associated constants. No unsafe.

format.rs

  • Message formatting incl. structured data. No unsafe.
  • Formatting looks conformant to RFC 5424.

lib.rs

  • Initialization code, socket stuff, and user facing wrappers.
  • One unsafe call to getpid(2); harmless.

Lib.rs has been able to verify that all files in the crate's tarball, except Cargo.lock, are in the crate's repository with a git tag matching the version. Please note that this check is still in beta, and absence of this confirmation does not mean that the files don't match.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories, so there is a possibility that published crates have a misleading repository URL, or contain different code from the code in the repository.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open syslog. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of syslog v6.1.1 or view the source online.
