<listitem><para>Instead of using the
<function>syslog()</function> call to log directly to the
system syslog service, a new-style daemon may
choose to simply log to standard error via
<function>fprintf()</function>, which is then forwarded to
syslog by the init system. If log
priorities are necessary, these can be
encoded by prefixing individual log
lines with strings like "&lt;4&gt;"
(for log priority 4 "WARNING" in the
syslog priority scheme), following a
similar style as the Linux kernel's
<function>printk()</function> priority system. In fact,
using this style of logging also
enables the init system to optionally
direct all application logging to the
kernel log buffer (kmsg), as
accessible via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>dmesg</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. This
kind of logging may be enabled by
setting
<varname>StandardError=syslog</varname>
in the service unit file. For details,
