<summary>

    <p>This module provides "syslog" ErrorLog provider. It allows logging
    error messages via syslogd(8).</p>
</summary>

<section id="examples">
    <title>Examples</title>

    <p>Using <code>syslog</code> in ErrorLog directive (see <module>core</module>)
    instead of a filename enables logging via syslogd(8) if the system supports it.
    The default is to use syslog facility <code>local7</code>,
    but you can override this by using the <code>syslog:<var>facility</var></code>
    syntax where <var>facility</var> can be one of the names usually documented in
    syslog(1).  The facility is effectively global, and if it is changed
    in individual virtual hosts, the final facility specified affects the
    entire server.</p>
