  14 .sp
  15 .LP
  16 The file \fB/etc/syslog.conf\fR contains information used by the system log
  17 daemon, \fBsyslogd\fR(1M), to forward a system message to appropriate log files
  18 and/or users. \fBsyslogd\fR preprocesses this file through \fBm4\fR(1) to
  19 obtain the correct information for certain log files, defining \fBLOGHOST\fR if
  20 the address of "loghost" is the same as one of the addresses of the host that
  21 is running \fBsyslogd\fR.
  22 .sp

  24 A configuration entry is composed of two TAB-separated fields:

  34 The \fIselector\fR field contains a semicolon-separated list of priority
  35 specifications of the form:

  45 where \fIfacility\fR is a system facility, or comma-separated list of
  46 facilities, and \fIlevel\fR is an indication of the severity of the condition
