This implies that if you set both "foreground = yes" and "output = FILE", the log messages will not be sent to stderr and will instead be sent to the log file only.
The implementation was modified in version 4.22 to allow logging to multiple destinations, but apparently I never updated the manual to reflect this change.
We'd like this behavior--it makes it easier for our scripts to distinguish startup errors parsing the config file (which are sent to stderr, since the log file isn't configured yet) vs. normal operation after the config file is parsed and the log file is established.
This is close to the way it works without "foreground = yes".
I guess I'm asking: is the documentation in conflict with the behavior, and if so, which is correct?
The software works as intended. I need to update the documentation.
