            Bug ID: 201725
           Summary: lib/libc/gen/syslog.3: missing priority argument in
                    example code in BUGS section.

syslog.3.patch

The syslog function signature looks like this:

  void syslog(int priority, const char *message, ...);

In the BUGS section of syslog(3), the reader is warned about formatting attacks
and it is suggested that the following idiom be used:

  syslog("%s", string);

The example lacks the first int argument (the priority). The attached patch
adds the missing 'priority' argument to the example code.
