Title:
  Clarify man page description of -f option (patch attached)

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The man page description of the logger -f option is a little unclear.
  It might be interpreted to mean that logging will be sent to the
  specified file instead of the logging daemon (actually -f specifies a
  file containing the message to be logged).

  Here (attached)  is a patch to the man page which clarifies this.

  logger is part of package bsdutils.
