+.BI "\-u " "userlevel"
+This is a "catch all" option for some very seldomly-used user settings.
+The "userlevel" variable selects multiple things. Add the specific values
+to get the combined effect of them.
+A value of 1 prevents rsyslogd from parsing hostnames and tags inside
+messages.
+A value of 2 prevents rsyslogd from changing to the root directory. This
+is almost never a good idea in production use. This option was introduced
+in support of the internal testbed.
+To combine these two features, use a userlevel of 3 (1+2). Whenever you use
+an -u option, make sure you really understand what you do and why you do it.
