The <syslog.h> header shall define the following symbolic
constants, zero or more of which may be OR'ed together to form
the logopt option of openlog():
LOG_PID Log the process ID with each message.
LOG_CONS Log to the system console on error.
LOG_NDELAY Connect to syslog daemon immediately.
LOG_ODELAY Delay open until syslog() is called.
LOG_NOWAIT Do not wait for child processes.
The <syslog.h> header shall define the following symbolic
constants for use as the facility argument to openlog():
LOG_KERN Reserved for message generated by the system.
LOG_USER Message generated by a process.
LOG_MAIL Reserved for message generated by mail system.
LOG_NEWS Reserved for message generated by news system.
LOG_UUCP Reserved for message generated by UUCP system.
LOG_DAEMON Reserved for message generated by system daemon.

LOG_WARNING A warning message.
LOG_NOTICE A condition requiring special handling.

The following shall be declared as functions and may also be
defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

void openlog(const char *, int, int);
int setlogmask(int);
void syslog(int, const char *, ...);
