 The module defines the following functions:
 
 
 .. function:: syslog([priority,] message)
 
-   Send the string *message* to the system logger.  A trailing newline is
-   added if necessary.  Each message is tagged with a priority composed
-   of a *facility* and a *level*.  The optional *priority* argument, which
-   defaults to :const:`LOG_INFO`, determines the message priority.  If the
-   facility is not encoded in *priority* using logical-or (``LOG_INFO |
-   LOG_USER``), the value given in the :func:`openlog` call is used.

 .. function:: openlog([ident[, logopt[, facility]]])
 
-   Logging options of subsequent :func:`syslog` calls can be set by
-   calling :func:`openlog`.  :func:`syslog` will call :func:`openlog`

-   path components stripped.  The optional *logopt* keyword argument
-   (default=0) is a bit field - see below for possible values to combine.
