# openlog

openlog -- open connection to system logger

## Description

`int openlog`(string ident, int option, int facility);

openlog() opens a connection to the system logger for a program. The string `ident` is added to each message. Values for `option` and `facility` are given in the next section. The use of openlog() is optional; It will automatically be called by syslog() if necessary, in which case ident will default to `false`. See also syslog() and closelog().
