    Hello,

    I'm aware that there is a `logging` package that is more _modern_ then [`syslog`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/syslog.html). But I have
    old code here to deal with that does use `syslog`. So that question is
    specific to `syslog` and not to `logging`.

    I would like to get the current `LOG_MASK`, which is kind of a logging
    level. According to the docu it seems that `syslog` doesn't have a
    mechanism for that.

    Does someone has an idea?

    The docu also tells me that `syslog` does let pass all messages by
    default.
    My point is I do manipulate via `syslog.setlogmask()` the current log
    leve. At the end I would like to set it back to its previous value.

    Kind
