Bug 0001033: LOG_UPTO(): Present on all (?) systems, but not standardized?  OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1033     Accepted as Marked

This item is tagged for issue 8

Add after P411, L13981 (<syslog.h>):
    
    LOG_UPTO(pri)

	A mask for all priorities from LOG_EMERG through pri inclusive
	in the order listed in the list of priority symbolic constants
	below. Any additional implementation-defined priorities not
	included in the list below shall not be included in the
	mask.
Change P411, L13982 (<syslog.h>)
from:
    The <syslog.h> header shall define the following symbolic
    constants for use as the priority argument of syslog( ):
to:
    The <syslog.h> header shall define the following symbolic
    constants for use as the severity level portion of the priority
    argument of syslog( ) and the pri argument of the LOG_MASK( )
    and LOG_UPTO( ) macros:

Add after P694, L23803 (closelog() DESCRIPTION) :
    
    The LOG_MASK( ) and LOG_UPTO( ) macros may be used to ensure a
    value or range of severity levels is properly encoded for the
    setlogmask( ) maskpri argument in a portable manner. The masks
    produced by these macros may be OR'ed or AND'ed with other
    priority masks (e.g.,

    LOG_UPTO(LOG_WARNING) | LOG_MASK(LOG_DEBUG)

    and

    LOG_UPTO(LOG_DEBUG) & ~((LOG_MASK(LOG_NOTICE) | LOG_MASK(LOG_INFO))

    would produce the same priority mask).
