NAME

rpma_log_set_function - set the logging function

SYNOPSIS

      #include <librpma.h>
      typedef void rpma_log_function(
              enum rpma_log_level level,
              const char *file_name,
              const int line_no,
              const char *function_name,
              const char *message_format,

...);

int rpma_log_set_function(rpma_log_function *log_function);

DESCRIPTION

rpma_log_set_function() allows choosing the function which will get all the generated logging messages. The log_function can be either RPMA_LOG_USE_DEFAULT_FUNCTION which will use the default logging function (built into the library) or a pointer to a user-defined function.

Parameters of a user-defined log function are as follow:

  • level - the log level of the message
  • file_name - name of the source file where the message coming from. It could be set to NULL and in such case neither line_no nor function_name are provided.
  • line_no - the source file line where the message coming from
  • function_name - the function name where the message coming from
  • message_format - printf(3)-like format string of the message

THE DEFAULT LOGGING FUNCTION

The initial value of the logging function is RPMA_LOG_USE_DEFAULT_FUNCTION. This function writes messages to syslog(3) (the primary destination) and to stderr(3) (the secondary destination).

RETURN VALUE

rpma_log_set_function() function returns 0 on success or error code on failure.

ERRORS

•
RPMA_E_AGAIN - a temporary error occurred, the retry may fix the problem

NOTE

The logging messages on the levels above the RPMA_LOG_THRESHOLD level won't trigger the logging function.

The user defined function must be thread-safe.
