No.  Can you be more specific?  All the documentation I've found for
the syslog module is for _generating_ log entries (it's a wrapper for
the Unix syslog library).

That's not what the OP asked about.

The OP asked about parsing syslog files, not generating syslog file
entries.

Parsing syslog files is not a well-defined problem.  The format of a
syslog file depends on which system log daemon you're running and now
it's configured.
