NAME
       Clogit - log server messages in local log or in system logger

SYNOPSIS
       #include "Clog.h"

       int Cinitlog (char *cmd, char *logfile)

       int Clogit (int level, char *func, char *msg, ...)

       int Cvlogit (int level, char *func, char *msg, va_list ap)

DESCRIPTION
       Cinitlog initializes the server logging routines.

       Clogit logs server messages in a local log or in the system logger.

       Cvlogit is the same as Clogit but takes a va_list instead of a variable number of arguments.

       cmd    specifies a string to be prepended to the syslog messages.

       logfile
	      specifies a path for the server log file. If set to syslog, the system logger will be used.  By default, only messages with level at
	      least as important as LOG_INFO will be logged. The level threshold can be changed with the environment variable LOG_PRIORITY.

       level  is associated with the message.  The possible values, in order of decreasing importance are:

	      LOG_EMERG

	      LOG_ALERT

	      LOG_CRIT

	      LOG_ERR

	      LOG_WARNING

	      LOG_NOTICE

	      LOG_INFO

	      LOG_DEBUG

       func   is the name of the function that issues the message.

       msg    is a format as in printf.

RETURN VALUE
       These routines return 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.

ERRORS
       EFAULT	    logfile is a NULL pointer.

       ENAMETOOLONG The length of logfile exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN.
