The Logging API serves as a log file
handler.
Logs are viewed through dmesg ('man dmesg')

Functions with corresponding files:
writeAuth(msg)      ->  /var/log/auth
writeBootLog(msg)   ->  /var/log/boot
writeMessage(msg)   ->  /var/log/messages
writeSyslog(msg)    ->  /var/log/syslog
writeSecurity(msg)  ->  /var/log/security
writeShutdown(msg)  ->  /var/log/shutdown
