I took a quick look of the syslogd source code (under a BSD
source tree), and did not find any signal emition. So, I
guess there is no way to get.
I assume that you mean the log file. It is configurable in
/etc/syslog.conf.
Normally, /var/log/messages. You can just check the size of
this file.

Thank you. I just check /var/log directory in our system.
There is no messages but syslog. However, syslog is 0 byte.
What's wrong with that? Is that because I am not root? Btw,
how
can I check size of a certain file by C/C++? I am poor on
C/C++.

What OS are you running? (What does `uname -a` report?)
What
is the content in /etc/syslogd.conf?
`man fstat`

Looks like you are on a Solaris box. It is usually set to
be
/var/adm/messages (but you need double check with
/etc/syslog.conf
to make sure), and it is world readable.
