 emit the log string.  By default, this points to an internal emit function
 that sends to stderr.  Setting it to NULL leaves it as it is instead.
 
+A helper function lwsl_emit_syslog() is exported from the library to simplify
+logging to syslog.  You still need to use setlogmask, openlog and closelog
+in your user code.
