                      2: **  SYSLOG.H -- declarations for system logging program
                      3: **
                      4: **     These are used as the first parameter to logmsg().
                      5: **     Their meanings are approximately as follows:
                      6: **
                      7: **     LOG_ALERT -- this priority should essentially never
                      8: **             be used.  It applies only to messages that
                      9: **             are so important that every user should be
                     10: **             aware of them, e.g., a serious hardware failure.
                     11: **     LOG_SALERT -- messages of this priority should be
                     12: **             issued only when immediate attention is needed
                     13: **             by a qualified system person, e.g., when some
                     14: **             valuable system resource dissappears.  They get
                     15: **             sent to a list of system people.
                     16: **     LOG_EMERG -- Emergency messages are not sent to users,
                     17: **             but represent major conditions.  An example
                     18: **             might be hard disk failures.  These could be
                     19: **             logged in a separate file so that critical
                     20: **             conditions could be easily scanned.
                     21: **     LOG_ERR -- these represent error conditions, such as soft
                     22: **             disk failures, etc.
                     23: **     LOG_CRIT -- such messages contain critical information,
                     24: **             but which can not be classed as errors, for example,
                     25: **             'su' attempts.
                     26: **     LOG_WARNING -- issued when an abnormal condition has been
                     27: **             detected, but recovery can take place.
                     28: **     LOG_NOTICE -- something that falls in the class of
                     29: **             "important information"; this class is informational
                     30: **             but important enough that you don't want to throw
                     31: **             it away casually.
                     32: **     LOG_INFO -- information level messages.  These messages
                     33: **             could be thrown away without problems, but should
                     34: **             be included if you want to keep a close watch on
                     35: **             your system.
                     36: **     LOG_DEBUG -- it may be useful to log certain debugging
                     37: **             information.  Normally this will be thrown away.
                     38: **     
                     39: **     It is expected that the kernel will not log anything below
                     40: **     LOG_ERR priority.
