204 function logs messages using
206 and is intended for internal use by Linux\-PAM and PAM service modules\&. The
208 argument is formed by ORing the facility and the level values as documented in the
214 function performs the same task as
216 with the difference that it takes a set of arguments which have been obtained using the
218 variable argument list macros\&.
229 functions are Linux\-PAM extensions\&.
