Function documentation
Return contents of /var/log/messages* and /var/log/syslog*.
Note: due to year rollover detection, the contents of the files are returned in reverse.
The messages log file holds information about a variety of events such as the system error messages, system startups and shutdowns, change in the network configuration, etc. Aims to store valuable, non-debug and non-critical messages. This log should be considered the “general system activity” log.
