Hi, Ben.

Why would I want to use this wrapper instead of just using the EPICS
errlog facility directly?

I didn't think the EPICS errlog facility provided a way to log to a
file; how does Feller log to a file using the EPICS errlog facility?

Attached is a patch to fix a few typos in the docs.

Thanks,

Lewis

 This macro is a convenience wrapper for the most common case when you do not
 want to print the message to the console. You can of course define your own
 wrapper macros, maybe calling other errlog print functions.
