+***********************************************
+omstdout: stdout output module (testbench tool)
+***********************************************
+
+===========================  ===========================================================================
+**Module Name:**             **omstdout**
+**Author:**                  `Rainer Gerhards <https://rainer.gerhards.net/>`_ <rgerhards@adiscon.com>
+**Available Since:**         4.1.6
+===========================  ===========================================================================
+
+
+Purpose
+=======
+
+This module writes any messages that are passed to it to stdout. It
+was developed for the rsyslog test suite. However, there may (limited)
+exist some other usages. Please note we do not put too much effort on
+the quality of this module as we do not expect it to be used in real
+deployments. If you do, please drop us a note so that we can enhance
+its priority!
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+.. note::
+
+   Parameter names are case-insensitive.
+
+
+Module Parameters
+-----------------
+
+none
+
+
+Action Parameters
+-----------------
+
+template
+^^^^^^^^
+
+.. csv-table::
+   :header: "type", "default", "mandatory", "|FmtObsoleteName| directive"
+   :widths: auto
+   :class: parameter-table
+
+   "word", "RSYSLOG_FileFormat", "no", "none"
+
+Set the template which will be used for the output. If none is specified
+the default will be used.
+
+
+EnsureLFEnding
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. csv-table::
+   :header: "type", "default", "mandatory", "|FmtObsoleteName| directive"
+   :widths: auto
+   :class: parameter-table
+
+   "binary", "on", "no", "``$ActionOMStdoutEnsureLFEnding``"
+
+Makes sure, that each message is written with a terminating LF. If the
+message contains a trailing LF, none is added. This is needed for the
+automated tests.
+
+
+Configure statement
+-------------------
+
+This is used when building rsyslog from source.
+
+./configure --enable-omstdout
+
+
+Legacy parameter not adopted in the new style
+---------------------------------------------
+
+-  **$ActionOMStdoutArrayInterface**
+   [Default: off]
+   This setting instructs omstdout to use the alternate array based
+   method of parameter passing. If used, the values will be output with
+   commas between the values but no other padding bytes. This is a test
+   aid for the alternate calling interface.
+
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Minimum setup
+-------------
+
+The following sample is the minimum setup required to have syslog messages
+written to stdout.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   module(load="omstdout")
+   action(type="omstdout")
+
+
+Example 2
+---------
+
+The following sample will write syslog messages to stdout, using a template.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   module(load="omstdout")
+   action(type="omstdout" template="outfmt")
+
+
