DESCRIPTION
logger provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module. Options: -d sd Log this in the structured data (SD) field.

The priority may be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair. For example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as informational level in the local3 facility. The default is ``user.notice''. -s Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log. -t tag Mark every line in the log with the specified tag. message Write the message to log; if not specified, and the -f flag is not provided, standard input is logged.
