<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
The <function>pam_syslog</function> function logs messages using
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
</citerefentry> and is intended for internal use by Linux-PAM and
PAM service modules. The <emphasis>priority</emphasis> argument is
formed by ORing the facility and the level values as documented
in the <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
</citerefentry> manual page.
</para>
<para>
The <function>pam_vsyslog</function> function performs the same
task as <function>pam_syslog()</function> with the difference
that it takes a set of arguments which have been obtained using
the <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>stdarg</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
</citerefentry> variable argument list macros.
