I just needed to look a bit higher up, basically the write_to_syslog is bei=
ng called from both logging functions, and the use_syslog option is checked=
only in the write_to_syslog function as a sort of bail out point.
That makes sense, but I wanted the option to mean something a little differ=
ent, so now I've modified the write_to_all_logs and write_to_all_logs_with_=
timestamp to check for use_syslog and only write out the regular log file i=
f use_syslog is false.
This way I don't double my logging overhead. Now use_syslog means use_sysl=
og only
Sincerely,
Steve

Odd, when I read it, it looked like use_syslog only used the syslog facilit=
y, but it is a bit confusing isn't it.
I'm going to take a closer look.
Sincerely,
Steve

Documentation doesn't make it entirely clear, but a quick peek into
base/logging.c hints that use_syslog means it will log to both when
set to 1, at least that's how I'm reading the code.
