[comp.sys.pyramid] syslog

hoyt@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (Sir Hoyt) (11/22/89)

	The man page for syslog(3) states:
	
		openlog( ident, logopt, facility )

	where:
		ident - is a string
		logopt -  is one or more of LOG_PID, LOG_CONS, 
			  LOG_NDELAY, LOG_NOWAIT
		facility - is one or more of LOG_KERN ... LOG_LOCAL0

	Now the problem is that /usr/include/syslog.h does not
	have LOG_NDELAY or LOG_NOWAIT defined.

	From what I can tell the syslog describe in the man page is
	4.3 BSD but the syslog.h is 4.2 BSD ( I think.... ).

	The question I have which is right?  the man page? if so
	what is the correct .h file??  If the man page is wrong,
	where is the correct man page??

OSx 4.4 shipped with the 4.3BSD syslog(3) man page, but the 4.2BSD syslog
code. This was a screwup.

OSx 5.0 has the 4.3BSD syslog(3).

Finally, I reported this bug to RTOC over two years ago.  It was either
OSX 3.? or 4.0.  I guess they finally decided to fix some of those
severity fours.  :-)
