+<para><replaceable>debuglevel</replaceable> is an integer

+not specified is zero.</para>
+
+<para>The higher this value, the more detail will be 
+logged to the log files about the activities of the 
+server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious 
+warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
+day to day running - it generates a small amount of 
+information about operations carried out.</para>
+
+<para>Levels above 1 will generate considerable 
+amounts of log data, and should only be used when 
+investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for 
+use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
+data, most of which is extremely cryptic.</para>
