This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes… Highligts in this particular commit: - the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type "unsigned int" - alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how numbers get sorted)

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
|
||
<filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> provide a reference
|
||
implementation of various APIs for new-style daemons,
|
||
as implemented by the
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
init system.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_booted</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_fifo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for more information about the functions
|
||
implemented. In addition to these functions a couple
|
||
of logging prefixes are defined as macros:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>#define SD_EMERG "<0>" /* system is unusable */
|
||
#define SD_ALERT "<1>" /* action must be taken immediately */
|
||
#define SD_CRIT "<2>" /* critical conditions */
|
||
#define SD_ERR "<3>" /* error conditions */
|
||
#define SD_WARNING "<4>" /* warning conditions */
|
||
#define SD_NOTICE "<5>" /* normal but significant condition */
|
||
#define SD_INFO "<6>" /* informational */
|
||
#define SD_DEBUG "<7>" /* debug-level messages */</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>These prefixes are intended to be used in
|
||
conjunction with STDERR-based logging as implemented
|
||
by systemd. If a systemd service definition file is
|
||
configured with <varname>StandardError=syslog</varname>
|
||
or <varname>StandardError=kmsg</varname>, these
|
||
prefixes can be used to encode a log level in lines
|
||
printed. This is similar to the kernel
|
||
<function>printk()</function>-style logging. See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>klogctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for more information.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The log levels are identical to
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|
||
log level system. To use these prefixes simply prefix
|
||
every line with one of these strings. A line that is
|
||
not prefixed will be logged at the default log level
|
||
SD_INFO.</para>
|
||
|
||
<example>
|
||
<title>Hello World</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>A daemon may log with the log level
|
||
NOTICE by issuing this call:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>fprintf(stderr, SD_NOTICE "Hello World!\n");</programlisting>
|
||
</example>

|
||
|
||
<para>These interfaces are provided by the reference
|
||
implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
|
||
distributed with the systemd package. The algorithms
|
||
they implement are simple, and can easily be
|
||
reimplemented in daemons if it is important to support
|
||
this interface without using the reference
|
||
implementation. See the respective function man pages
|
||
for details.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In addition, for details about the algorithms
|
||
check the liberally licensed reference implementation
|
||
sources:
|
||
<ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/libsystemd-daemon/sd-daemon.c"/>
|
||
and <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/systemd/sd-daemon.h"/></para>
|
||
|
||
<para>These APIs are implemented in the reference
|
||
implementation's <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
|
||
<filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. These
|
||
interfaces are available as shared library, which can
|
||
be compiled and linked to with the
|
||
<constant>libsystemd-daemon</constant> <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
file. Alternatively, applications consuming these APIs
|
||
may copy the implementation into their source tree,
|
||
either verbatim or in excerpts.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The functions directly related to new-style
|
||
daemons become NOPs when -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set
|
||
during compilation and the reference implementation is
|
||
used as drop-in files. In addition, if
|
||
<filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> is compiled on
|
||
non-Linux systems they become NOPs.</para>
