detecting errors in writing to syslog
I am calling "void syslog(int, const char *, ...);" from my c++ application (definition taken from man page for syslog.h". Is there any way to detect that the syslog is not working, so that I can re-direct logging information to stderr?

Thanks in advance.

It is not necessary to call openlog() prior to calling syslog().
