Here you are replicating a bad formatting glitch that I introduced a while
back when doing a semiautomated edit of this page a while back.
I reformatted these as simply
.I syslog(6,dummy,dummy)

I made that last piece:
The call
.I syslog(8,dummy,level)
sets the console log level to
.IR level ,
which must be an integer between 1 and 8 (inclusive).
