closelog

The symbols referred to in this section are declared in the file `syslog.h'.

Function: void closelog (void)

closelog closes the current Syslog connection, if there is one. This include closing the `dev/log' socket, if it is open.

There is very little reason to use this function. It does not flush any buffers; you can reopen a Syslog connection without closing it first; The connection gets closed automatically on exec or exit. closelog has primarily aesthetic value.
