 * These include setting the client filter and managing additional output
 * file descriptors.  Note that the default setting of the client filter is
 * ASL_FILTER_MASK_UPTO(ASL_LEVEL_NOTICE), so ASL_LEVEL_DEBUG and ASL_LEVEL_INFO
 * messages are not sent to the server by default.
 * 
 * Options (defined above) may be set using the opts parameter. They are:
 *   ASL_OPT_STDERR    - adds stderr as an output file descriptor
 *   ASL_OPT_NO_DELAY  - connects to the server immediately
 *   ASL_OPT_NO_REMOTE - disables the remote-control mechanism for adjusting
 *                       filter levers for processes using e.g. syslog -c ...
