DESCRIPTION
The openpam_log function logs messages using syslog(3). It is primarily
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_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.
