=head1 NAME
Sys::Syslog, openlog, closelog, setlogmask, syslog - Perl interface to the UNIX syslog(3) calls
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Syslog;
openlog $ident, $logopt, $facility;
syslog $priority, $mask, $format, @args;
$oldmask = setlogmask $mask_priority;
closelog;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Sys::Syslog is an interface to the UNIX C<syslog(3)> program.
Call C<syslog()> with a string priority and a list of C<printf()> args
just like C<syslog(3)>.
Syslog provides the functions:
=over
=item openlog $ident, $logopt, $facility
I<$ident> is prepended to every message.
I<$logopt> contains one or more of the words I<pid>, I<ndelay>, I<cons>, I<nowait>.
I<$facility> specifies the part of the system
=item syslog $priority, $mask, $format, @args
If I<$priority> and I<$mask> permit, logs I<($format, @args)>
printed as by C<printf(3V)>, with the addition that I<%m>
is replaced with C<"$!"> (the latest error message).
=item setlogmask $mask_priority
Sets log mask I<$mask_priority> and returns the old mask.
=item closelog
Closes the log file.
=back
Note that C<openlog> now takes three arguments, just like C<openlog(3)>.
=head1 EXAMPLES
openlog($program, 'cons,pid', 'user');
syslog('info', 'this is another test');
syslog('mail|warning', 'this is a better test: %d', time);
closelog();
syslog('debug', 'this is the last test');
openlog("$program $$", 'ndelay', 'user');
syslog('notice', 'fooprogram: this is really done');
$! = 55;
syslog('info', 'problem was %m'); # %m == $! in syslog(3)
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
B<Sys::Syslog> needs F<syslog.ph>, which can be created with C<h2ph>.
