+ * # System logging functions
+ *
+ * The `log` module provides bindings to the POSIX syslog functions `openlog()`,
+ * `syslog()` and `closelog()` as well as - when available - the OpenWrt
+ * specific ulog library functions.
+ *
+ * Functions can be individually imported and directly accessed using the
+ * {@link https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#named_import named import}
+ * syntax:
+ *
+ *   ```
+ *   import { openlog, syslog, LOG_PID, LOG_USER, LOG_ERR } from 'log';
+ *
+ *   openlog("my-log-ident", LOG_PID, LOG_USER);
+ *   syslog(LOG_ERR, "An error occurred!");
+ *
+ *   // OpenWrt specific ulog functions
+ *   import { ulog_open, ulog, ULOG_SYSLOG, LOG_DAEMON, LOG_INFO } from 'log';
+ *
+ *   ulog_open(ULOG_SYSLOG, LOG_DAEMON, "my-log-ident");
+ *   ulog(LOG_INFO, "The current epoch is %d", time());
+ *   ```
+ *
+ * Alternatively, the module namespace can be imported
+ * using a wildcard import statement:
+ *
+ *   ```
+ *   import * as log from 'log';
+ *
+ *   log.openlog("my-log-ident", log.LOG_PID, log.LOG_USER);
+ *   log.syslog(log.LOG_ERR, "An error occurred!");
+ *
+ *   // OpenWrt specific ulog functions
+ *   log.ulog_open(log.ULOG_SYSLOG, log.LOG_DAEMON, "my-log-ident");
+ *   log.ulog(log.LOG_INFO, "The current epoch is %d", time());
+ *   ```
+ *
+ * Additionally, the log module namespace may also be imported by invoking the
+ * `ucode` interpreter with the `-llog` switch.
+ *
+ * ## Constants
+ *
+ * The `log` module declares a number of numeric constants to specify logging
+ * facility, priority and option values, as well as ulog specific channels.
+ *
+ * ### Syslog Options

+ * | `LOG_NDELAY`  | Open the connection to the logger immediately.          |
+ * | `LOG_ODELAY`  | Delay open until the first message is logged.           |
+ * | `LOG_NOWAIT`  | Do not wait for child processes created during logging. |

+ * Configure ulog logger.
+ *
+ * This functions configures the ulog mechanism and is analogeous to using the
+ * `openlog()` function in conjuncton with `syslog()`.
+ *
+ * The `ulog_open()` function is OpenWrt specific and may not be present on
+ * other systems. Use `openlog()` and `syslog()` instead for portability to
+ * non-OpenWrt environments.
+ *
+ * A program may use multiple channels to simultaneously output messages using
+ * different means. The channel argument may either be a single string value
+ * containing a channel name, an array of channel names or a numeric value
+ * representing a bitmask of `ULOG_*` channel constants.
+ *
+ * The facility argument may be either a single string value containing a
+ * facility name or one of the numeric `LOG_*` facility constants in the module
+ * namespace.
+ *
+ * The default facility value varies, depending on the execution context of the
+ * program. In OpenWrt's preinit boot phase, or when stdout is not connected to
+ * an interactive terminal, the facility defaults to `"daemon"` (`LOG_DAEMON`),
+ * otherwise to `"user"` (`LOG_USER`).
+ *
+ * Likewise, the default channel is selected depending on the context. During
+ * OpenWrt's preinit boot phase, the `"kmsg"` channel is used, for interactive
+ * terminals the `"stdio"` one and for all other cases the `"syslog"` channel
+ * is selected.
+ *
+ * Returns `true` if ulog was configured.
+ *
+ * Returns `false` if an invalid argument, such as an unrecognized channel or
+ * facility name, was provided.

+ * @function module:log#ulog_open

+ * The `ulog()` function is OpenWrt specific and may not be present on other
