\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
\code{(LOG_USER | LOG_INFO)}, determines the message priority.
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 \code{openlog()} prior to calling \code{syslog()}.
The defaults are (usually) \var{ident} = \samp{syslog}, \var{logopt} = 0,
\var{facility} = \code{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.
The optional \var{facility} argument sets the default facility for messages
which do not have a facility explicitly encoded.
