     # Specific attributes
     -prefix     => prefix,
     -facility   => "user",

The syslog logging channels directs operations to syslog() via the Sys::Syslog\|(3) interface.

The creation routine make() takes the following switches: Tell syslog() which facility to use (e.g. \*(L"user\*(R", \*(L"auth\*(R", \*(L"daemon\*(R"). Unlike the Sys::Syslog\|(3) interface, the facility is set once and for all: every message logged through this channel will use the same facility. Specifies logging options, under the form of a string containing zero or more of the words ndelay, cons or nowait. The prefix here is syslog's identification string. Set to true to have the \s-1PID\s0 of the process logged. It is false by default. Specifies the logging socket type to use. The default behaviour is to use Sys:Syslog's default.
