syslog.h(3HEAD) 						      Headers							   syslog.h(3HEAD)

NAME

       syslog.h, syslog - definitions for system error logging

SYNOPSIS

       #include <syslog.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  <syslog.h>	header	defines the following symbolic constants, zero or more of which can be OR'ed together to form the logopt option of
       openlog():

       LOG_CONS        Log to the system console on error.

       LOG_NDELAY      Connect to syslog daemon immediately.

       LOG_ODELAY      Delay open until syslog() is called.

       LOG_NOWAIT      Do not wait for child processes.

       The following symbolic constants are defined as possible values of the facility argument to openlog():

       LOG_KERN        reserved for message generated by the system

       LOG_USER        message generated by a process

       LOG_MAIL        reserved for message generated by mail system

       LOG_NEWS        reserved for message generated by news system
