NAME
     openpam_log -- log	a message through syslog

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>

     void
     openpam_log(int level, const char *fmt, ...);

DESCRIPTION
     The openpam_log() function	logs messages using syslog(3).	It is primar-
     ily intended for internal use by the library and modules.

     The level argument	indicates the importance of the	message.  The follow-
     ing levels	are defined:

     PAM_LOG_LIBDEBUG	 Debugging messages.  For internal use only.

     PAM_LOG_DEBUG	 Debugging messages.  These messages are normally not
			 logged	unless the global integer variable
			 openpam_debug is set to a non-zero value, in which
			 case they are logged with a syslog(3) priority	of
			 LOG_DEBUG.

     PAM_LOG_VERBOSE	 Information about the progress	of the authentication
			 process, or other non-essential messages.  These mes-
			 sages are logged with a syslog(3) priority of
			 LOG_INFO.

     PAM_LOG_NOTICE	 Messages relating to non-fatal	errors.	 These mes-
			 sages are logged with a syslog(3) priority of
			 LOG_NOTICE.

     PAM_LOG_ERROR	 Messages relating to serious errors.  These messages
			 are logged with a syslog(3) priority of LOG_ERR.

     The remaining arguments are a printf(3) format string and the correspond-
     ing arguments.

     The openpam_log() function	does not modify	the value of errno.
