+=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>.
