NAME
       logger - make entries in the system log

SYNOPSIS
       logger [-i] [-f file] [-p pri] [-t tag] message ...

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

       The following options are available to control message formatting:

       -i	Log the process id of the logger process with each line.

       -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  informa‐
		tional	 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 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.

EXAMPLES

       logger -p local0.notice -t HOSTIDM -f /dev/idmc
