     llooggggeerr - make entries in the system log

     LLooggggeerr provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log
     module.

     Options:

     --ii        Log the process id of the logger process with each line.

     --ss        Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log.

     --ff _f_i_l_e   Log the specified file.

     --pp _p_r_i    Enter the message with the specified priority.  The priority
	       may be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair.
	       For example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as
	       _i_n_f_ormational level in the _l_o_c_a_l_3 facility.  The default is
	       ``user.notice.''

     --tt _t_a_g    Mark every line in the log with the specified _t_a_g.

     _m_e_s_s_a_g_e   Write the message to log; if not specified, and the --ff flag is
	       not provided, standard input is logged.

     The llooggggeerr utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
