.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides a simple object for sending messages to the
system log (via \s-1UNIX\s0 syslog calls).
.PP
Note that logging may fail if you try to pass \s-1UTF\-8\s0 characters in the
log message. If logging fails and warnings are enabled, the error
message will be output using Perl's \f(CW\*(C`warn\*(C'\fR.
.SH "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR"
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard
parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:
.IP "\(bu" 4
ident ($)
.Sp
This string will be prepended to all messages in the system log.
Defaults to \f(CW$0\fR.
.IP "\(bu" 4
logopt ($)
.Sp
A string containing the log options (separated by any separator you
like). See the \fIopenlog\fR\|(3) and Sys::Syslog docs for more details.
Defaults to ''.
.IP "\(bu" 4
facility ($)
.Sp
Specifies what type of program is doing the logging to the system log.
Valid options are 'auth', 'authpriv', 'cron', 'daemon', 'kern',
\&'local0' through 'local7', 'mail, 'news', 'syslog', 'user',
\&'uucp'. Defaults to 'user'
.IP "\(bu" 4
socket ($, \e@, or \e%)
.Sp
Tells what type of socket to use for sending syslog messages. Valid
options are listed in \f(CW\*(C`Sys::Syslog\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
If you don't provide this, then we let \f(CW\*(C`Sys::Syslog\*(C'\fR simply pick one
that works, which is the preferred option, as it makes your code more
portable.
.Sp
If you pass an array reference, it is dereferenced and passed to
\&\f(CW\*(C`Sys::Syslog::setlogsock()\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
If you pass a hash reference, it is passed to \f(CW\*(C`Sys::Syslog::setlogsock()\*(C'\fR as
is.
.IP "\(bu" 4
lock ($)
.Sp
If this is set to a true value, then the calls to \f(CW\*(C`setlogsock()\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`openlog()\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`syslog()\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`closelog()\*(C'\fR will all be guarded by a
thread-locked variable.
.Sp
This is only relevant when running you are using Perl threads in your
application. Setting this to a true value will cause the threads and
threads::shared modules to be loaded.
.Sp
This defaults to false.
