# Information about the format of the syslog file.
############################################################################
# For info about the format of this file, see "man syslog.conf"
# and /usr/doc/sysklogd/README.linux.

# Lines have the format
#   selector <TAB>s action
# selector is
#   facility.level [ ; facility.level ]
#
# Facility is one of:
#   user, kern, mail, daemon, auth, lpr, news, uucp, cron,
#   mark (timestamp), local0-local7 (user-defined), * (all except mark)
#
# Level is (lowest to higest priority):
#   none, debug, info, notice, warning, err, crit, alert, emerg
# Priority none is no logging.
# Selecting a level (e.g. auth.info) means log that level (info) and all
# higher levels (notice ... emerg) for the given facility (auth).
# Level can also be preceeded by an =. This means: log only that level.
# For example: auth.=notice logs only the notice level for auth.
# A level of * is equivalent of debug.
#
# Action is:
#   - a file or device (should start with leading slash):
#        information is appended to file, or written to the device
#   - a comma separated list of usernames or a *:
#       information is written (using the write program) to
#       the specified users resp. all (when the * is specified).
#   - an @ followed by a hostname: send to host's syslog
