Summary

This is the patch attached to bug 216756. The last entry in the EXAMPLE section looks like this:

syslog(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL2, "foobar error: %m");

Since the message says that an error is logged, it should not be LOG_INFO, but LOG_ERROR instead. The patch addresses that.

Test Plan
  1. Apply the patch to head/lib/libc/gen/syslog.3
  2. Check the output: man ./head/lib/libc/gen/syslog.3
