void openlog(const char *ident, int option, int facility); where priority is facility | level. In the string version above facility syslog and local6 corresponds to LOG_SYSLOG and LOG_LOCAL6, and info is the level which corresponds to LOG_INFO. As for semantic:

LOG_SYSLOG: messages generated internally by syslogd(8)
LOG_USER (default): generic user-level messages
LOG_INFO: informational message
