Hi,

The first parameter of `syslog()` is called `priority` in the man-page,
except in the breakdown of the possible log levels, where it is called
`level`.

Your report doesn't say clearly which pieces of text you find to
be incorrect, but I wonder if you have missed this sentence in the
man page:

    The priority argument is formed by ORing the facility and the
    level values (explained below).

Oh, that's it!  My mistake.  Apologies for the noise.
