communicate with a remote \UNIX{} machine whose address is given by
\var{address} in the form of a \code{(\var{host}, \var{port})}
tuple. If \var{address} is not specified, \code{('localhost', 514)} is
used. The address is used to open a UDP socket. If \var{facility} is
not specified, \constant{LOG_USER} is used.
used. The address is used to open a UDP socket. An alternative to providing
a \code{(\var{host}, \var{port})} tuple is providing an address as a string,
for example "/dev/log". In this case, a Unix domain socket is used to send
the message to the syslog. If \var{facility} is not specified,
\constant{LOG_USER} is used.
