-Selects the desired backward compatibility mode. It must always be the
-first option on the command line, as it influences processing of the
-other options. To use the rsyslog v3 native interface, specify -c3. To
-use compatibility mode , either do not use -c at all or use
--c<version> where 
-.IR version
-is the rsyslog version that it shall be
-compatible with. Using -c0 tells rsyslog to be command-line compatible
-to sysklogd, which is the default if -c is not given.
-.B Please note that rsyslogd issues warning messages if the -c3
-.B command line option is not given.
-This is to alert you that your are running in compatibility
-mode. Compatibility mode interferes with your rsyslog.conf commands and
-may cause some undesired side-effects. It is meant to be used with a
-plain old rsyslog.conf - if you use new features, things become
-messy. So the best advice is to work through this document, convert
-your options and config file and then use rsyslog in native mode. In
-order to aid you in this process, rsyslog logs every
-compatibility-mode config file directive it has generated. So you can
-simply copy them from your logfile and paste them to the config.
+This option has been obsolted and has no function any longer. It is still
+accepted in order not to break existing scripts. However, future versions
+may not support it.
