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
to the printf routine.
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.
