Public bug reported:
The man page description of the logger -f option is a little unclear.
It might be interpreted to mean that logging will be sent to the
specified file instead of the logging daemon (actually -f specifies a
file containing the message to be logged).
Here (attached) is a patch to the man page which clarifies this.
logger is part of package bsdutils.
