Macros

#define DAEMON_GCC_PRINTF_ATTR(a, b)

A macro for making use of GCCs printf compilation warnings. #define DAEMON_LOGV_AVAILABLE 1

This variable is defined to 1 iff daemon_logv() is supported. #define DAEMON_SET_VERBOSITY_AVAILABLE 1

This variable is defined to 1 iff daemon_set_verbosity() is available.

Enumerations

enum daemon_log_flags { DAEMON_LOG_SYSLOG = 1, DAEMON_LOG_STDERR = 2, DAEMON_LOG_STDOUT = 4, DAEMON_LOG_AUTO = 8 }

Specifies where to send the log messages to.

Functions

void daemon_log (int prio, const char *t,...) DAEMON_GCC_PRINTF_ATTR(2

Log a message using printf format strings using the specified syslog priority. void daemon_logv (int prio, const char *t, va_list ap)

Same as daemon_log(), but without variadic arguments. char * daemon_ident_from_argv0 (char *argv0)

Return a sensible syslog identification for daemon_log_ident generated from argv[0]. void daemon_set_verbosity (int verbosity_prio)

Setter for the verbosity level of standard output.

Variables

enum daemon_log_flags daemon_log_use

This variable is used to specify the log target(s) to use. const char * daemon_log_ident

Specifies the syslog identification, use daemon_ident_from_argv0() to set this to a sensible value or generate your own.

Contains a robust API for logging messages.

#define DAEMON_LOGV_AVAILABLE 1

This variable is defined to 1 iff daemon_logv() is supported.

daemon_logv()

#define DAEMON_SET_VERBOSITY_AVAILABLE 1

This variable is defined to 1 iff daemon_set_verbosity() is available.

Since:

0.14

See Also:

daemon_set_verbosity()

Definition at line 92 of file dlog.h.

enum \fBdaemon_log_flags\fP

Specifies where to send the log messages to. The global variable daemon_log_use takes values of this type.

Enumerator

DAEMON_LOG_SYSLOG

Log messages are written to syslog.

DAEMON_LOG_STDERR

Log messages are written to STDERR.

DAEMON_LOG_STDOUT

Log messages are written to STDOUT.

DAEMON_LOG_AUTO

If this is set a daemon_fork() will change this to DAEMON_LOG_SYSLOG in the daemon process.

Definition at line 38 of file dlog.h.

char* daemon_ident_from_argv0 (char *argv0)

Return a sensible syslog identification for daemon_log_ident generated from argv[0]. This will return a pointer to the file name of argv[0], i.e. strrchr(argv[0], '\')+1

Parameters:

argv0 argv[0] as passed to main()

Returns:

The identification string

Examples: testd.c.

void daemon_log (intprio, const char *t, ...)

Log a message using printf format strings using the specified syslog priority.

Parameters:

prio The syslog priority (PRIO_xxx constants)

t,... The text message to log

Examples: testd.c.

void daemon_logv (intprio, const char *t, va_listap)

Same as daemon_log(), but without variadic arguments.

Since:

0.11

See Also:

DAEMON_LOGV_AVAILABLE

void daemon_set_verbosity (intverbosity_prio)

Setter for the verbosity level of standard output.

Parameters:

verbosity_prio Minimum priority level for messages to output on standard output/error

Allows to decide which messages to output on standard output/error streams. All messages are logged to syslog and this setting does not influence that.

The default value is LOG_WARNING.

Since:

0.14

See Also:

DAEMON_SET_VERBOSITY_AVAILABLE

const char* daemon_log_ident

Specifies the syslog identification, use daemon_ident_from_argv0() to set this to a sensible value or generate your own.

Examples: testd.c.

enum \fBdaemon_log_flags\fP daemon_log_use

This variable is used to specify the log target(s) to use. Defaults to DAEMON_LOG_STDERR|DAEMON_LOG_AUTO
