option:

LOG_CONS-Ifthe log message can't be sent to syslogd via the UNIX domain datagram, themessage is written to the console instead.(如果消息无法记录到日志文件里则发送消息到控制台)    

LOG_NDELAY-Openthe UNIX domain datagram socket to the syslogddaemon immediately; don't wait untilthe first message is logged. Normally, the socket is not opened until the firstmessage is logged.

LOG_NOWAIT-Do not wait for child processesthat might have been created in the process of logging the message. Thisprevents conflicts with applications that catch SIGCHLD, since the application mighthave retrieved the child's status by the time that syslog calls wait.
