=head1 NAME
Sys::Syslog, openlog, closelog, setlogmask, syslog - Perl interface to the UNIX syslog(3) calls
=item openlog $ident, $logopt, $facility
-I<$ident> is prepended to every message.
-I<$logopt> contains zero or more of the words I<pid>, I<ndelay>, I<cons>, I<nowait>.
-I<$facility> specifies the part of the system
+I<$ident> is prepended to every message. I<$logopt> contains zero or
+more of the words I<pid>, I<ndelay>, I<nowait>. The cons option is
+ignored, since the failover mechanism will drop down to the console
+automatically if all other media fail. I<$facility> specifies the
+part of the system
=item syslog $priority, $format, @args
Sets log mask I<$mask_priority> and returns the old mask.
-=item setlogsock $sock_type (added in 5.004_02)
+=item setlogsock $sock_type [$stream_location] (added in 5.004_02)
Sets the socket type to be used for the next call to
C<openlog()> or C<syslog()> and returns TRUE on success,
undef on failure.
-A value of 'unix' will connect to the UNIX domain socket returned by the
-C<_PATH_LOG> macro (if you system defines it) in F<syslog.h>. A value of
-'inet' will connect to an INET socket returned by getservbyname(). If
-C<_PATH_LOG> is unavailable or if getservbyname() fails, returns undef. Any
-other value croaks.
+A value of 'unix' will connect to the UNIX domain socket returned by
+the C<_PATH_LOG> macro (if your system defines it) in F<syslog.ph>. A
+value of 'stream' will connect to the stream indicated by the pathname
+provided as the optional second parameter. A value of 'inet' will
+connect to an INET socket (either tcp or udp, tried in that order)
+returned by getservbyname(). 'tcp' and 'udp' can also be given as
+values. The value 'console' will send messages directly to the
+console, as for the 'cons' option in the logopts in openlog().
+
+A reference to an array can also be passed as the first parameter.
+When this calling method is used, the array should contain a list of
+sock_types which are attempted in order.
-The default is for the INET socket to be used.
+The default is to try tcp, udp, unix, stream, console.
+
+Giving an invalid value for sock_type will croak.
