+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The \fBpostlog\fR(1) command implements a Postfix\-compatible logging
+interface for use in, for example, shell scripts.
+
+By default, \fBpostlog\fR(1) logs the \fItext\fR given on the command
+line as one record. If no \fItext\fR is specified on the command
+line, \fBpostlog\fR(1) reads from standard input and logs each input
+line as one record.
+
+By default, logging is sent to \fBsyslogd\fR(8) or
+\fBpostlogd\fR(8); when the
+standard error stream is connected to a terminal, logging
+is sent there as well.
+
+The following options are implemented:
+.IP "\fB\-c \fIconfig_dir\fR"
+Read the \fBmain.cf\fR configuration file in the named directory
+instead of the default configuration directory.
+.IP "\fB\-i\fR (obsolete)"
+Include the process ID in the logging tag. This flag is ignored as
+of Postfix 3.4, where the PID is always included.
+.IP "\fB\-p \fIpriority\fR (default: \fBinfo\fR)"
+Specifies the logging severity: \fBinfo\fR, \fBwarn\fR,
+\fBerror\fR, \fBfatal\fR, or \fBpanic\fR. With Postfix 3.1
+and later, the program will pause for 1 second after reporting
+a \fBfatal\fR or \fBpanic\fR condition, just like other
+Postfix programs.
+.IP "\fB\-t \fItag\fR"
+Specifies the logging tag, that is, the identifying name that
+appears at the beginning of each logging record. A default tag
+is used when none is specified.
+.IP \fB\-v\fR
+Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple \fB\-v\fR
+options make the software increasingly verbose.
+.SH "SECURITY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The \fBpostlog\fR(1) command is designed to run with
+set\-groupid privileges, so that it can connect to the
+\fBpostlogd\fR(8) daemon process (Postfix 3.7 and later;
+earlier implementations of this command must not have
+set\-groupid or set\-userid permissions).
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP MAIL_CONFIG
+Directory with the \fBmain.cf\fR file.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The following \fBmain.cf\fR parameters are especially relevant to
+this program.
+
+The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
+\fBpostconf\fR(5) for more details including examples.
+.IP "\fBconfig_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
+The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf
+configuration files.
+.IP "\fBimport_environment (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
+The list of environment variables that a privileged Postfix
+process will import from a non\-Postfix parent process, or name=value
+environment overrides.
+.IP "\fBsyslog_facility (mail)\fR"
+The syslog facility of Postfix logging.
+.IP "\fBsyslog_name (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
+A prefix that is prepended to the process name in syslog
+records, so that, for example, "smtpd" becomes "prefix/smtpd".
+.PP
+Available in Postfix 3.4 and later:
+.IP "\fBmaillog_file (empty)\fR"
+The name of an optional logfile that is written by the Postfix
+\fBpostlogd\fR(8) service.
+.IP "\fBpostlog_service_name (postlog)\fR"
+The name of the \fBpostlogd\fR(8) service entry in master.cf.
