+.SH NAME
+logger \- a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B logger
+[options] [message]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B logger
+makes entries in the system log.  It provides a shell command
+interface to the
+.BR syslog (3)
+system log module.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-udp\fR
+Use datagram (UDP) instead of the default stream connection (TCP).
+.TP
+\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-id\fR
+Log the process ID of the logger process with each line.
+.TP
+\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-file\fR \fIfile\fR
+Log the contents of the specified
+.IR file .
+This option cannot be combined with a command-line message.
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
+Display a help text and exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-server\fR \fIserver\fR
+Write to the specified remote syslog
+.I server
+using UDP instead of to the builtin syslog routines.
+.TP
+\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-port\fR \fIport\fR
+Use the specified UDP
+.IR port .
+The default port number is 514.
+.TP
+\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-priority\fR \fIpriority\fR
+Enter the message into the log with the specified
+.IR priority  .
+The priority may be specified numerically or as a
+.I facility.level
+pair.
+For example,
+.B -p
+.I local3.info
+logs the message as informational in the local3 facility.
+The default is
+.IR user.notice .
+.TP
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-stderr\fR
+Output the message to standard error as well as to the system log.
+.TP
+\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-tag\fR \fItag\fR
+Mark every line to be logged with the specified
+.IR tag .
+.TP
+\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-socket\fR \fIsocket\fR
+Write to the specified
+.I socket
+instead of to the builtin syslog routines.
+.TP
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+Display version information and exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-\fR
+End the argument list.  This is to allow the
+.I message
+to start with a hyphen (\-).
+.TP
+.I message
+Write the message to log; if not specified, and the
+.I \-f
+flag is not provided, standard input is logged.
