What is /dev/blog?

Question

I have tried searching for /dev/blog on google, duckduckgo, etc.; but I cannot find any information about it. I've also asked another sysadmin where I work, but he didn't know what it is used for either. Is there anywhere I can find documentation that would tell me more about this? This is on a SLES 11 system

Answer 1

/dev/blog from what I have been able to find refers to libblogger which is a library for boot logging.
