Simultaneously write to multiple syslog facilities?

c, linux, logging, syslog

Solution

Looking at the man page for `syslog`, I see the example:

syslog(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL2, "foobar error: %m");

Does

syslog(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL0, "message for local0");
syslog(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL1, "message for local1");

work?

Problem

Is it possible to have one application simultaneously write to multiple syslog facilities? I have an application, written in C/C++, that I would like to write some messages to local0 and other messages to local1. I do not want the messages for local0 to appear in local1 or vice versa.
