+\fIdebuglevel\fR is an integer

+not specified is zero.

+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.

+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
