+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "local syslog = require 'syslog'"
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact
+.It Dv syslog.openlog(ident, logopt, facility)
+.It Dv syslog.syslog(priority, message)

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+Lua binding provides access to the
+.Xr syslog 3
+functionality.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.openlog(ident, logopt, facility)
+The syslog.openlog() function provides for more specialized processing of the
+messages sent by syslog.syslog().
+The parameter
+.Ar ident
+is a string that will be prepended to every message.
+The
+.Ar logopt
+argument is a bit field specifying logging options, which is formed
+by adding one or more of the following values:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_CONS
+If
+.Fn syslog.syslog
+cannot pass the message to syslogd(8) it will attempt to write the
+message to the console (``/dev/console'').
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_NDELAY
+Open the connection to syslogd(8) immediately.
+Normally the open is delayed until the first message is logged.
+Useful for programs that need to manage the order in which file descriptors are
+allocated.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_PERROR
+Write the message to standard error output as well to the system log.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_PID
+Log the process id with each message: useful for identifying instantiations of
+daemons.
+(This PID is placed within brackets between the ident and the message.)
+.El
+.Pp
+The facility parameter encodes a default facility to be assigned to all
+messages that do not have an explicit facility encoded:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_AUTH
+The authorization system: login(1), su(1), getty(8), etc.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_AUTHPRIV
+The same as LOG_AUTH, but logged to a file readable only by selected
+individuals.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_CRON
+The cron daemon: cron(8).
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_DAEMON
+System daemons, such as routed(8), that are not provided for explicitly by other
+facilities.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_FTP
+The file transfer protocol daemon: ftpd(8).
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_KERN
+Messages generated by the kernel.
+These cannot be generated by any user processes.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_LPR
+The line printer spooling system: lpr(1), lpc(8), lpd(8), etc.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_MAIL
+The mail system.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_NEWS
+The network news system.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_SYSLOG
+Messages generated internally by syslogd(8).
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_USER
+Messages generated by random user processes.
+This is the default facility identifier if none is specified.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_UUCP
+The uucp system.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_LOCAL0
+Reserved for local use.
+Similarly for syslog.LOG_LOCAL1 through syslog.LOG_LOCAL7
+.El
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.syslog(priority, message)
+The
+.Fn syslog
+function writes
+.Ar message
+to the system message logger.
+The message is then written to the system console, log files, logged-in
+users, or forwarded to other machines as appropriate (see syslogd(8)).
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar message
+is tagged with
+.Ar priority .
+Priorities are encoded as a
+.Ar facility
+and a
+.Ar level .
+The facility describes the part of the system generating the message.
+The level is selected from the following ordered (high to low) list:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_EMERG
+A panic condition.
+This is normally broadcast to all users.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_ALERT
+A condition that should be corrected immediately, such as a corrupted system
+database.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_CRIT
+Critical conditions, e.g., hard device errors.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_ERR
+Errors.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_WARNING
+Warning messages.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_NOTICE
+Conditions that are not error conditions, but should possibly be handled
+specially.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_INFO
+Informational messages.
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.LOG_DEBUG
+Messages that contain information normally of use only when debugging a program.
+.El
+.Pp
+.It Dv syslog.closelog()
+The
+.Fn syslog.closelog
+function can be used to close the log file.
+.Pp
+.It Dv oldmask = syslog.setlogmask(maskpri)
+The
+.Fn setlogmask
+function sets the log priority mask to maskpri and returns the previous mask.
+Calls to
+.Fn syslog
+with a priority not set in maskpri are rejected.
