It means you can no longer modify eg parv[1] in-place with strtoken and such.
The main reason for this is that as a command handler you have no idea
where the arguments may come from. It could be from a do_cmd() with
read-only storage (eg a string literal) and so on.
It started with an experiment of how far I could get and how annoying the
side-effects would be, but they seem to be quite managable, so I'm
committing this stuff.
Hopefully this catches/solves some stupid bugs somewhere :)
Any \n's will be expanded to multiple lines.
* For JSON disk logging there is no change.
* For text disk logging it will show as:
[time] facility subsys.CODE+
[time] facility subsys.CODE+
[time] facility subsys.CODE
So a plus sign is added if another message is to follow.
* For notices to opers/snomasks exactly the same (plus sign if needed).
Untested. More changes to follow eg to notice dropping the json
in the followup msgs.
This also changes the logging format for text disk to match
the output on server notices, we no longer log as:
[TS] facility subsystem event_code: msg....
But as:
[TS] facility subsystem.event_code: msg....
Saves a bit of room, especially when the JSON travels over network this
maybe save some "crucial" bytes (and in that case it looks better too,
since the \s's in message tags only make it less readable).
This makes it use OUR timestamp, so timestamps in logs are properly
sequential. The originial timestamp is saved in "original_timestamp".
Finally, we (over)write "log_source" with the remote server name.
