+.. currentmodule:: multiprocessing
+.. function:: log_to_stderr()
+
+   This function performs a call to :func:`get_logger` but in addition to
+   returning the logger created by get_logger, it adds a handler which sends
+   output to :data:`sys.stderr` using format
+   ``'[%(levelname)s/%(processName)s] %(message)s'``.
+
 Below is an example session with logging turned on::
 
     >>> import multiprocessing, logging
-    >>> logger = multiprocessing.get_logger()
+    >>> logger = multiprocessing.log_to_stderr()
     >>> logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
     >>> logger.warning('doomed')
     [WARNING/MainProcess] doomed
     >>> m = multiprocessing.Manager()
     [INFO/SyncManager-1] child process calling self.run()
-    [INFO/SyncManager-1] manager bound to '\\\\.\\pipe\\pyc-2776-0-lj0tfa'
+    [INFO/SyncManager-1] created temp directory /.../pymp-Wh47O_
+    [INFO/SyncManager-1] manager serving at '/.../listener-lWsERs'
     >>> del m
     [INFO/MainProcess] sending shutdown message to manager
     [INFO/SyncManager-1] manager exiting with exitcode 0
 
+In addition to having these two logging functions, the multiprocessing also
+exposes two additional logging level attributes. These are  :const:`SUBWARNING`
+and :const:`SUBDEBUG`. The table below illustrates where theses fit in the
+normal level hierarchy.
+
++----------------+----------------+
+| Level          | Numeric value  |
++================+================+
+| ``SUBWARNING`` | 25             |
++----------------+----------------+
+| ``SUBDEBUG``   | 5              |
++----------------+----------------+
+
+For a full table of logging levels, see the :mod:`logging` module.
+
+These additional logging levels are used primarily for certain debug messages
+within the multiprocessing module. Below is the same example as above, except
+with :const:`SUBDEBUG` enabled::
+
+    >>> import multiprocessing, logging
+    >>> logger = multiprocessing.log_to_stderr()
+    >>> logger.setLevel(multiprocessing.SUBDEBUG)
+    >>> logger.warning('doomed')
+    [WARNING/MainProcess] doomed
+    >>> m = multiprocessing.Manager()
+    [INFO/SyncManager-1] child process calling self.run()
+    [INFO/SyncManager-1] created temp directory /.../pymp-djGBXN
+    [INFO/SyncManager-1] manager serving at '/.../pymp-djGBXN/listener-knBYGe'
+    >>> del m
+    [SUBDEBUG/MainProcess] finalizer calling ...
+    [INFO/MainProcess] sending shutdown message to manager
+    [DEBUG/SyncManager-1] manager received shutdown message
+    [SUBDEBUG/SyncManager-1] calling <Finalize object, callback=unlink, ...
+    [SUBDEBUG/SyncManager-1] finalizer calling <built-in function unlink> ...
+    [SUBDEBUG/SyncManager-1] calling <Finalize object, dead>
+    [SUBDEBUG/SyncManager-1] finalizer calling <function rmtree at 0x5aa730> ...
+    [INFO/SyncManager-1] manager exiting with exitcode 0
