The symbols referred to in this section are declared in the file syslog.h.

void closelog (void)

Function

closelog closes the current Syslog connection, if there is one. This include closing the dev/log socket, if it is open. There is very little reason to use this function. It does not flush any buffers; you can reopen a Syslog connection without closing it first; The connection gets closed automatically on exec or exit. closelog has primarily aesthetic value.
