+To enable socklog-void, start the following runit services, and
+ensure no other syslogd is running:
+
+    * socklog-unix
+    * nanoklogd
+
+Logs reside in /var/log/socklog/*, use svlogtail for simple access.
+
+To access logs as ordinary user, add yourself to group socklog:
+
+    # sudo usermod -a -G socklog <user>
+
+and then re-login to make it effective.
