Enumeration Type Documentation

enum daemon_log_flags

Specifies where to send the log messages to. Enumeration values: 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 31 of file dlog.h.

Function Documentation

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 (  int  prio, 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.

Variable Documentation

char* daemon_log_ident

Specifies the syslog identification, use daemon_ident_from_argv0() to set this to a sensible value or generate your own. Definition at line 45 of file dlog.h.

enum daemon_log_flags daemon_log_use

This variable is used to specify the log target(s) to use. Defaults to DAEMON_LOG_STDERR|DAEMON_LOG_AUTO Definition at line 41 of file dlog.h.
