slog2f()

Log a printf-style string in a slog2 buffer

Synopsis:

#include <sys/slog2.h>

int slog2f( slog2_buffer_t buffer,
            uint16_t code,
            uint8_t severity,
            const char* format, ... );

Arguments:

buffer

The handle of the buffer you want to log the message in, or NULL to use the default buffer that you specified earlier with slog2_set_default_buffer().

code

A user-specified code that you want to be associated with the message. The slog2 system doesn't interpret this code in any way.

severity

The severity level of this log item; one of:

SLOG2_SHUTDOWN
SLOG2_CRITICAL
SLOG2_ERROR
SLOG2_WARNING
SLOG2_NOTICE
SLOG2_INFO
SLOG2_DEBUG1
SLOG2_DEBUG2

For more information, see the entry for slog2_register().

format

A printf-formatted character string used to define the log, followed by any additional arguments, as required.

Library:

libslog2

Use the -l slog2 option to qcc to link against this library.

Description:

The slog2f() function logs a printf-style ASCII-text string in the specified slog2 buffer.

The vslog2f() function is an alternate form in which the arguments have already been captured using the variable-length argument facilities of <stdarg.h>.

Returns:

0 on success, or -1 if an error occurred.

Errors:

EBUSY: The logger couldn't obtain a buffer within the number of retries that you specified when you registered the buffer set; see slog2_register().
EFAULT: You specified NULL for buffer, but there's no default buffer.
EINVAL: The format string is invalid.
EPERM: The process hasn't registered with slog2.

Examples:

See slog2_register().

Signal handler	Yes
Thread	Yes

Caveats:

Don't use double or float arguments in an interrupt handler, unless your code is compiled to use software floating-point emulation.
