Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more
than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown"
to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_print()</function> may be
|
|
used to submit simple, plain text log entries to the
|
|
system journal. The first argument is a priority
|
|
value. This is followed by a format string and its
|
|
parameters, similar to
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
or
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
|
|
priority value is one of
|
|
<literal>LOG_EMERG</literal>,
|
|
<literal>LOG_ALERT</literal>,
|
|
<literal>LOG_CRIT</literal>,
|
|
<literal>LOG_ERR</literal>,
|
|
<literal>LOG_WARNING</literal>,
|
|
<literal>LOG_NOTICE</literal>,
|
|
<literal>LOG_INFO</literal>,
|
|
<literal>LOG_DEBUG</literal>, as defined in
|
|
<filename>syslog.h</filename>, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details. It is recommended to use this call to
|
|
submit log messages in the application locale or system
|
|
locale and in UTF-8 format, but no such restrictions
|
|
are enforced.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_printv()</function> is
|
|
similar to <function>sd_journal_print()</function> but
|
|
takes a variable argument list encapsulated in an
|
|
object of type <literal>va_list</literal> (see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>stdarg</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information) instead of the format string. It
|
|
is otherwise equivalent in behavior.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_send()</function> may be
|
|
used to submit structured log entries to the system
|
|
journal. It takes a series of format strings, each
|
|
immediately followed by their associated parameters,
|
|
terminated by NULL. The strings passed should be of
|
|
the format <literal>VARIABLE=value</literal>. The
|
|
variable name must be in uppercase and consist only of
|
|
characters, numbers and underscores, and may not begin
|
|
with an underscore. (All assignments that do not
|
|
follow this syntax will be ignored.) The value can be
|
|
of any size and format. It is highly recommended to
|
|
submit text strings formatted in the UTF-8 character
|
|
encoding only, and submit binary fields only when
|
|
formatting in UTf-8 strings is not sensible. A number
|
|
of well known fields are defined, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details, but additional application defined fields
|
|
may be used. A variable may be assigned more than one
|
|
value per entry.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> is
|
|
similar to <function>sd_journal_send()</function> but
|
|
takes an array of <literal>struct iovec</literal> (as
|
|
defined in <filename>uio.h</filename>, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>readv</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details) instead of the format string. Each
|
|
structure should reference one field of the entry to
|
|
submit. The second argument specifies the number of
|
|
structures in the
|
|
array. <function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> is
|
|
particularly useful to submit binary objects to the
|
|
journal where that is necessary.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_perror()</function> is a
|
|
similar to
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>perror</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and writes a message to the journal that consists of
|
|
the passed string, suffixed with ": " and a human
|
|
readable representation of the current error code
|
|
stored in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If
|
|
the message string is passed as NULL or empty string
|
|
only the error string representation will be written,
|
|
prefixed with nothing. An additional journal field
|
|
ERRNO= is included in the entry containing the numeric
|
|
error code formatted as decimal string. The log
|
|
priority used is <literal>LOG_ERR</literal> (3).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <function>sd_journal_send()</function>
|
|
is a wrapper around
|
|
<function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> to make it
|
|
easier to use when only text strings shall be
|
|
submitted. Also, the following two calls are
|
|
mostly equivalent:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>sd_journal_print(LOG_INFO, "Hello World, this is PID %lu!", (unsigned long) getpid());
|
|
|
|
sd_journal_send("MESSAGE=Hello World, this is PID %lu!", (unsigned long) getpid(),
|
|
"PRIORITY=%i", LOG_INFO,
|
|
NULL);</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that these calls implicitly add fields for
|
|
the source file, function name and code line where
|
|
invoked. This is implemented with macros. If this is
|
|
not desired it can be turned off by defining
|
|
SD_JOURNAL_SUPPRESS_LOCATION before including
|
|
<filename>sd-journal.h</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and <function>sd_journal_print()</function> may
|
|
largely be used interchangeably
|
|
functionality-wise. However, note that log messages
|
|
logged via the former take a different path to the
|
|
journal server than the later, and hence global
|
|
chronological ordering between the two streams cannot
|
|
be guaranteed. Using
|
|
<function>sd_journal_print()</function> has the
|
|
benefit of logging source code line, file names, and
|
|
functions as meta data along all entries, and
|
|
guaranteeing chronological ordering with structured
|
|
log entries that are generated via
|
|
<function>sd_journal_send()</function>. Using
|
|
<function>syslog()</function> has the benefit of being
|
|
more portable.</para>

<para>The four calls return 0 on success or a negative

errno-style error code. The

|

variable itself is not altered.</para>
