=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>.

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<syslog(3)>
