Submitting Syslog Messages
==========================

   The GNU C library provides functions to submit messages to the Syslog
facility:

openlog

Open connection to Syslog

syslog; vsyslog

Submit message to Syslog

closelog

Close connection to Syslog

setlogmask

Cause certain messages to be ignored

Syslog Example

Example of all of the above

   These functions only work to submit messages to the Syslog facility
on the same system.  To submit a message to the Syslog facility on
another system, use the socket I/O functions to write a UDP datagram to
the `syslog' UDP port on that system.  Note: Sockets.
