-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.SS openlog()
-.BR openlog ()
-opens a connection to the system logger for a program.
-.P
-The string pointed to by
-.I ident
-is prepended to every message, and is typically set to the program name.
-If
-.I ident
-is NULL, the program name is used.
-(POSIX.1-2008 does not specify the behavior when
-.I ident
-is NULL.)
-.P
-The
-.I option
-argument specifies flags which control the operation of
-.BR openlog ()
-and subsequent calls to
-.BR syslog ().
-The
-.I facility
-argument establishes a default to be used if
-none is specified in subsequent calls to
-.BR syslog ().
-The values that may be specified for
-.I option
-and
-.I facility
-are described below.
-.P
-The use of
-.BR openlog ()
-is optional; it will automatically be called by
-.BR syslog ()
-if necessary, in which case
-.I ident
-will default to NULL.
-.\"
-.SS syslog() and vsyslog()
-.BR syslog ()
-generates a log message, which will be distributed by
-.BR syslogd (8).
-.P
-The
-.I priority
-argument is formed by ORing together a
-.I facility
-value and a
-.I level
-value (described below).
-If no
-.I facility
-value is ORed into
-.IR priority ,
-then the default value set by
-.BR openlog ()
-is used, or, if there was no preceding
-.BR openlog ()
-call, a default of
-.B LOG_USER
-is employed.
-.P
-The remaining arguments are a
-.IR format ,
-as in
-.BR printf (3),
-and any arguments required by the
-.IR format ,
-except that the two-character sequence
-.B %m
-will be replaced by
-the error message string
-.IR strerror ( errno ).
-The format string need not include a terminating newline character.
-.P
-The function
-.BR vsyslog ()
-performs the same task as
-.BR syslog ()
-with the difference that it takes a set of arguments which have
-been obtained using the
-.BR stdarg (3)
-variable argument list macros.
-.\"
-.SS closelog()
-.BR closelog ()
-closes the file descriptor being used to write to the system logger.
-The use of
-.BR closelog ()
-is optional.
-.\"
-.SS Values for \fIoption\fP
-The
-.I option
-argument to
-.BR openlog ()
-is a bit mask constructed by ORing together any of the following values:
-.TP 15
-.B LOG_CONS
-Write directly to the system console if there is an error while sending to
-the system logger.
-.TP
-.B LOG_NDELAY
-Open the connection immediately (normally, the connection is opened when
-the first message is logged).
-This may be useful, for example, if a subsequent
-.BR chroot (2)
-would make the pathname used internally by the logging facility unreachable.
-.TP
-.B LOG_NOWAIT
-Don't wait for child processes that may have been created while logging
-the message.
-(The GNU C library does not create a child process, so this
-option has no effect on Linux.)
-.TP
-.B LOG_ODELAY
-The converse of
-.BR LOG_NDELAY ;
-opening of the connection is delayed until
-.BR syslog ()
-is called.
-(This is the default, and need not be specified.)
-.TP
-.B LOG_PERROR
-(Not in POSIX.1-2001 or POSIX.1-2008.)
-Also log the message to
-.IR stderr .
-.TP
-.B LOG_PID
-Include the caller's PID with each message.
-.\"
-.SS Values for \fIfacility\fP
-The
-.I facility
-argument is used to specify what type of program is logging the message.
-This lets the configuration file specify that messages from different
-facilities will be handled differently.
-.TP 15
-.B LOG_AUTH
-security/authorization messages
-.TP
-.B LOG_AUTHPRIV
-security/authorization messages (private)
-.TP
-.B LOG_CRON
-clock daemon
-.RB ( cron " and " at )
-.TP
-.B LOG_DAEMON
-system daemons without separate facility value
-.TP
-.B LOG_FTP
-ftp daemon
-.TP
-.B LOG_KERN
-kernel messages (these can't be generated from user processes)
-.\" LOG_KERN has the value 0; if used as a facility, zero translates to:
-.\" "use the default facility".
-.TP
-.BR LOG_LOCAL0 " through " LOG_LOCAL7
-reserved for local use
-.TP
-.B LOG_LPR
-line printer subsystem
-.TP
-.B LOG_MAIL
-mail subsystem
-.TP
-.B LOG_NEWS
-USENET news subsystem
-.TP
-.B LOG_SYSLOG
-messages generated internally by
-.BR syslogd (8)
-.TP
-.BR LOG_USER " (default)"
-generic user-level messages
-.TP
-.B LOG_UUCP
-UUCP subsystem
-.\"
-.SS Values for \fIlevel\fP
-This determines the importance of the message.
-The levels are, in order of decreasing importance:
-.TP 15
-.B LOG_EMERG
-system is unusable
-.TP
-.B LOG_ALERT
-action must be taken immediately
-.TP
-.B LOG_CRIT
-critical conditions
-.TP
-.B LOG_ERR
-error conditions
-.TP
-.B LOG_WARNING
-warning conditions
-.TP
-.B LOG_NOTICE
-normal, but significant, condition
-.TP
-.B LOG_INFO
-informational message
-.TP
-.B LOG_DEBUG
-debug-level message
-.P
-The function
-.BR setlogmask (3)
-can be used to restrict logging to specified levels only.

-.\" .SH HISTORY
-.\" 4.3BSD documents

-.TP
-.BR vsyslog ()
-4.3BSD-Reno.
-.\" Of course early v* functions used the
-.\" .I <varargs.h>
-.\" mechanism, which is not compatible with
-.\" .IR <stdarg.h> .
-.P
-POSIX.1-2001 specifies only the
-.B LOG_USER
-and
-.B LOG_LOCAL*
-values for
-.IR facility .
-However, with the exception of
-.B LOG_AUTHPRIV
-and
-.BR LOG_FTP ,
-the other
-.I facility
-values appear on most UNIX systems.
-.P
-The
-.B LOG_PERROR
-value for
-.I option
-is not specified by POSIX.1-2001 or POSIX.1-2008, but is available
-in most versions of UNIX.
-.SH NOTES
-The argument
-.I ident
-in the call of
-.BR openlog ()
-is probably stored as-is.
-Thus, if the string it points to
-is changed,
-.BR syslog ()
-may start prepending the changed string, and if the string
-it points to ceases to exist, the results are undefined.
-Most portable is to use a string constant.
-.P
-Never pass a string with user-supplied data as a format,
-use the following instead:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-syslog(priority, "%s", string);
-.EE
