+# -R HOST[:PORT]: Log to HOST:PORT (default PORT:514)
+# -L : Log locally and via network
+# -D : Drop duplicates
+# -C[size_kb] : Log to shared mem buffer (use logread to read it)
+# -f FILE : Use FILE as config (default:/etc/syslog.conf)
+# -m MIN : Minutes between mark lines (default:20, 0=off)
+# -K : Log to kernel printk buffer (use dmesg to read it)
