rsyslog/runtime/stream.c

/* The serial stream class.
 *
 * A serial stream provides serial data access. In theory, serial streams
 * can be implemented via a number of methods (e.g. files or in-memory
 * streams). In practice, there currently only exist the file type (aka
 * "driver").
 *
 * File begun on 2008-01-09 by RGerhards
 * Large modifications in 2009-06 to support using it with omfile, including zip writer.
 * Note that this file obtains the zlib wrapper object is needed, but it never frees it
 * again. While this sounds like a leak (and one may argue it actually is), there is no
 * harm associated with that. The reason is that strm is a core object, so it is terminated
 * only when rsyslogd exists. As we could only release on termination (or else bear more
 * overhead for keeping track of how many users we have), not releasing zlibw is OK, because
 * it will be released when rsyslogd terminates. We may want to revisit this decision if
 * it turns out to be problematic. Then, we need to quasi-refcount the number of accesses
 * to the object.
