slogi()
Send a message to the system logger
Synopsis:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/slog.h>
int slogi( int opcode,
int severity,
int nargs,
... );
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_STARTand_SLOGC_PRIVATE_ENDin 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(). - nargs
- The number of integers to send. A maximum of 32 integers is allowed.
The additional arguments are the integers that you want to write.
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 slogf(). If you have programs that scan log files for specified codes, you can use slogb() or slogi() to send a block of structures or ints, respectively.
Errors:
Any value from the Errors section in MsgSend(), as well as:
- EACCES
- Insufficient permission to write to the log file.
- EINVAL
- The size of the data buffer exceeded 32 integers.
- ENOENT
- Invalid log file or directory specified, or slogger2 isn't running.
Examples:
See slogf().
