sia_log(3)						     Library Functions Manual							sia_log(3)

NAME

       sia_log - Log events and errors - SIA (Security Integration Architecture)

LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <siad.h>

       int sia_log(
	    u_int loglevel,
	    char  *siafmt,
	    ...);

PARAMETERS

       loglevel    There are three types of log messages:
		     SIALOGEVENT - Log an event (not an error or problem)
		     SIALOGERROR - Log an error or problem (not too serious)
		     SIALOGALERT - Log a serious problem (SIA is SERIOUSLY ILL)

       siafmt	   Printer format suitable for the vfprint routine.  (One of the SIA message formats in sia.h.)

       ...	   The list of additional strings to be printed in the log, if any.

DESCRIPTION

       The  sia_log()  routine	logs events and error messages into the sialog file.  Each entry is time and PID stamped to track when and who was
       making the log entry.

       The sia_log() routine appends to an existing log file.  If the log file does not exist, it is not created (no error is returned).  The sia-
       log file is intended for debugging possible SIA problems.  Use the audit subsystem for normal auditing and logging.

RETURN VALUES

       The sia_log() routine returns SIASUCCESS or SIAFAIL.

ERRORS

       The  errno  value is not normally set explicitly by sia_* routines.  The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface,
       from dependent (siad_*) routines, from malloc, from stdio routines such as fopen and vfprintf, or local routines such as catopen.  Possible
       errors include resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures.
