Refer to the \UNIX{} manual pages for a detailed description -of the \code{syslog} facility. - -The module defines the following functions: - - -\begin{funcdesc}{syslog}{\optional{priority,} message} -Send the string \var{message} to the system logger. A trailing -newline is added if necessary. Each message is tagged with a priority -composed of a \var{facility} and a \var{level}. The optional -\var{priority} argument, which defaults to \constant{LOG_INFO}, -determines the message priority. If the facility is not encoded in -\var{priority} using logical-or (\code{LOG_INFO | LOG_USER}), the -value given in the \function{openlog()} call is used. -\end{funcdesc} - -\begin{funcdesc}{openlog}{ident\optional{, logopt\optional{, facility}}} -Logging options other than the defaults can be set by explicitly -opening the log file with \function{openlog()} prior to calling -\function{syslog()}. The defaults are (usually) \var{ident} = -\code{'syslog'}, \var{logopt} = \code{0}, \var{facility} = -\constant{LOG_USER}. The \var{ident} argument is a string which is -prepended to every message. The optional \var{logopt} argument is a -bit field - see below for possible values to combine.
