OK, I got your question now. Originally I had the same question,
however reviewing the code provides the following:
#***********************************************************************
# %PROCEDURE: md_openlog
# %ARGUMENTS:
# tag -- syslog tag ("mimdefang.pl")
# facility -- Syslog facility as a string
# %RETURNS:
# Nothing
# %DESCRIPTION:
# Opens a log using either Unix::Syslog or Sys::Syslog
#***********************************************************************
sub md_openlog ($$) {
my($tag, $facility) = @_;
if ($Features{"Unix::Syslog"}) {
my $num_fac = convert_log_facility_to_number($facility);
openlog($tag, LOG_PID, $num_fac);
} else {
openlog($tag, "pid", $facility);
}
}
use strict 'subs';
HTH.
