NAME

       strlog - General: Submits messages for logging

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/stream.h> #include <sys/strlog.h>

       int strlog(
	       short driverid,
	       short minorid,
	       char level,
	       unsigned short flags,
	       char *format,
	       unsigned arg1,

       );

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies  the  identification number of the driver or module submitting the message.  Specifies the identification number for a particular
       minor device.  Specifies the tracing level for selective screening of low-priority messages.  Specifies a flag value. You can pass  one	of
       the  following  valid flag values: Pass the message to the error logger.  Pass the message to the tracer.  Print the message on the console
       terminal.  Specifies a printf style format string.  The % s, % e, % g, and % G formats are not allowed.	Specifies zero or  more  arguments

DESCRIPTION

       The strlog routine submits formatted messages to the log driver. You can retrieve the messages with the getmsg system call. The flags argu-
       ment specifies the type of message and where it is to be sent. The strace command receives messages from the log driver and sends  them	to
       the   standard	output.   The	strerr	daemon	receives  error  messages  from  the  log  driver  and	appends  them  to  a  file  called
       /var/adm/streams/error.mm-dd, where mm-dd identifies the date of the error message.

RETURN VALUES

       The strlog routine returns the value 0 (zero). If the message is not seen by all the readers. Otherwise, it returns the value 1.
