Lets say I'm trying to write to a file and the operation of doing this fails. Wouldn't I have to write additional code to make sure every outcome of my code was successful ,make sure data was written to the said file? If an error is not checked the application will just go on running code. An error is only an error if it is defined as one, otherwise the CPU continues running the code with erroneous data.

An analogy would be checking a simple mathematical addition equation by subtracting one of the addends from the sum to see if the other addend was left. If this check is not made we are not aware of the error and computations using this faulty data continue.

This webpage gives my original post some structure http://wiki.webratio.com/index.php/Debugging_with_application's_logs

I got to this topic indirectly from ELF files so that won't help much. Let's say I'm writing an application and think it will be useful to have some log files to view so when it crashes I will have a clue of what to look at to solve the problems the application is experiencing.

NAME

       amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API

DESCRIPTION

       The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
       describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.

SCRIPTS

       This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.

       o   amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.

       o   script-email(8), - send email.

       Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
       interchangeably.

SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY

       A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
       application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
       sent to the application.
