Description: syslogger
        =========
        
        A quick program to write to a specified log facility at a specified log level.
        
        Usage:
        
        ```
        syslogger.py FACILITY LEVEL [--address ADDRESS] MESSAGE
        ```
        
        where FACILITY is one of:
        
        * AUTH
        * AUTHPRIV
        * CRON
        * DAEMON
        * FTP
        * KERN
        * LPR
        * MAIL
        * NEWS
        * SYSLOG
        * USER
        * UUCP
        * LOCAL0
        * LOCAL1
        * LOCAL2
        * LOCAL3
        * LOCAL4
        * LOCAL5
        * LOCAL6
        * LOCAL7
        
        and LEVEL is one of:
        
        * DEBUG
        * INFO
        * WARNING
        * ERROR
        * CRITICAL
        
        and ADDRESS is the address of the socket that your system logger is listening to (defaults to `/dev/log`),
        
        and MESSAGE is the message you'd like to log.
        
        I originally wrote this so I had a way to quickly and easily test my syslog-ng configuration. Of course there were probably already programs that would do this, but for whatever dumb reason, I couldn't find them. (`logger` came to mind much later - http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?logger+1.) On the bright side, it gave me the opportunity to mock the Python logging class for my unit test, using Gary Bernhardt's Dingus library. https://github.com/garybernhardt/dingus. I also used his Expecter library again. Big thanks to Gary. He's been my goto for Python + TDD.
