                The priority may be specified numerically or as
                a ``facility.level'' pair.  For example, ``-p
                local3.info'' logs the message(s) as
                _\bi_\bn_\bf_\bormational level in the _\bl_\bo_\bc_\ba_\bl_\b3 facility.  The
                default is ``user.notice.''
