Comment (by eighthave):

 Here's a nice diagram and description of the Android logging system which
 could be helpful:

 Also, with Android, there could always be some weird edge case where the
 `__android_log_printf()` does something different than syslog, it is not a
 very

 My personal preference when maintaining cross-platform systems is to use
 common APIs as much as possible that's where this bug report comes from.
 And I generally consider undocumented APIs as breakable, with good
 reason..
