DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The log() function allows the kernel to send messages to user processes
     listening on /dev/klog.  Usually syslogd(8) monitors /dev/klog for these
     messages and writes them to a log file.

     All messages are logged using facility LOG_KERN.  See syslog(3) for a
     listing of log levels.
