vslogf()

Updated: April 19, 2023

Send a message to the system logger (varargs)

Synopsis:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/slog.h>

int vslogf( int opcode,
            int severity, 
            const char * fmt,
            va_list arg );

Arguments:

opcode
A combination of a major and minor code. Create the opcode using the _SLOG_SETCODE(major, minor) macro that's defined in <sys/slog.h>.

Use major codes in the range _SLOGC_PRIVATE_START and _SLOGC_PRIVATE_END in your applications, keeping in mind that many applications already use _SLOGC_TEST, which is (_SLOGC_PRIVATE_START + 0).

severity
The severity of the log message; see Severity levels,” in the documentation for slogf().
fmt
A standard printf() string.
arg
A variable-argument list of the additional arguments, which you must have initialized with the va_start() macro.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The slog*() functions send log messages to the system logger, slogger2. To send formatted messages, use vslogf(). If you have programs that scan log files for specified codes, you can use slogb() or slogi() to send a block of structures or int's, respectively.

This function is a “varargs” version of slogf().
