NAME
     pam_log - log messages to syslog

SYNOPSIS
     pam_log [-audit] [-debug[=LEVEL]] [-noopen] [-waitdebug[=SECONDS]]
     [-pri=FACILITY.PRIORITY] [-tag=LABEL] TEXT...

DESCRIPTION
     Sends diagnostic text to syslog.

OPTIONS
     -pri=FACILITY.PRIORITY
	    Send  text	to the given syslog facility and priority.  Valid values
	    for FACILITY are: user, daemon, auth, authpriv, and  local0  through
	    local7.   Valid  values  for  PRIORITY are: emerg, alert, crit, err,
	    warning, notice, info, and debug.

	    Either part can be omitted, in which case the following defaults are
	    used: FACILITY=authpriv, PRIORITY=info.

     -tag=LABEL
	    Use LABEL as the syslog tag, instead of the module name.

     -debug[=NUMBER]
	    Set debugging level (0 <= NUMBER <= 100).

     -audit
	    Log full debugging information (equivalent to debug=100).

     -waitdebug=N
	    Wait for N seconds before starting up.  This option is  intended  to
	    facilitate	attaching  to  the  module with gdb(1).  It is available
	    only if the package was configured with the --enable-debug option.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
     All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided.

RETURN VALUES
     PAM_IGNORE
	    Ignore this module.

EXAMPLES
