vsyslog - log message with a varargs argument list

---

SYNOPSIS

#include <syslog.h>
#include <varargs.h>

int vsyslog(priority, message, ap) char *message; va_list ap;

DESCRIPTION

vsyslog() is the same as syslog.3 except that instead of being called with a variable number of arguments, it is called with an argument list as defined by varargs.3

EXAMPLE

#include <syslog.h>
#include <varargs.h>
...
	/*  error should be called like:
	*	error(pri, function_name, format, arg1, arg2...);
	*  Note that pri, function_name, and format cannot be declared
	*  separately because of the definition of varargs.
	*/
/*VARARGS0*/
void
error(va_alist)
	va_dcl;	
{
	va_list args;
	int pri;
	char *message;

	va_start(args);
	pri = va_arg(args, int);
		/* log name of function causing error */
	(void) syslog(pri, "ERROR in %s", va_arg(args, char *));
	message = va_arg(args, char *);
		/* log remainder of message */
	(void) vsyslog(pri, fmt, args);
	va_end(args);
	(void) abort();
}
