+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_syslog\fR
+function logs messages using
+\fBsyslog\fR(3)
+and is intended for internal use by Linux\-PAM and PAM service modules. The
+\fIpriority\fR
+argument is formed by ORing the facility and the level values as documented in the
+\fBsyslog\fR(3)
+manual page.
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_vsyslog\fR
+function performs the same task as
+\fBpam_syslog()\fR
+with the difference that it takes a set of arguments which have been obtained using the
+\fBstdarg\fR(3)
+variable argument list macros.
