Logger provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3STDC) system log module.

The following options are available:

-i: Log the process id of the logger process with each line.
-s: Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log.
-f file: Log the specified file.
-p pri: Enter the message with the specified priority. The priority may be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair. For example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as informational level in the local3 facility. The default is user.notice.''
-t tag: Mark every line in the log with the specified tag.
message: Write the message to the log. If not specified, and the -f flag is not provided, standard input is logged.

The logger utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
