Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 9.04, manpages-dev 3.15-1.
syslog(3) documents openlog(ident, option, facility). It doesn't
describe what happens if openlog is passed NULL as an ident. It does
say that syslog itself will do this if syslog is called without openlog
having been called previously. So, either I can pass NULL to openlog
myself, or syslog may do so, but what will that do in terms of the data
logged?
Empirically, it seems the basename of argv[0] will be used. This should
be documented.
