NAME
Clogit - log server messages in local log or in system logger
SYNOPSIS
#include "Clog.h"
int Cinitlog (char *cmd, char *logfile)
int Clogit (int level, char *func, char *msg, ...)
int Cvlogit (int level, char *func, char *msg, va_list ap)
DESCRIPTION
Cinitlog initializes the server logging routines.
Clogit logs server messages in a local log or in the system logger.
Cvlogit is the same as Clogit but takes a va_list instead of a variable number of arguments.
- cmd
-
specifies a string to be prepended to the syslog messages.
- logfile
-
specifies a path for the server log file. If set to syslog, the system logger will be used. By default, only messages with level at least as important as LOG_INFO will be logged. The level threshold can be changed with the environment variable LOG_PRIORITY.
- level
-
is associated with the message. The possible values, in order of decreasing importance are:
- LOG_EMERG
- LOG_ALERT
- LOG_CRIT
- LOG_ERR
- LOG_WARNING
- LOG_NOTICE
- LOG_INFO
- LOG_DEBUG
- func
-
is the name of the function that issues the message.
- msg
-
is a format as in printf.
RETURN VALUE
These routines return 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
- EFAULT
-
logfile is a NULL pointer.
- ENAMETOOLONG
-
The length of logfile exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN.
