LIBXO(3) Library Functions Manual LIBXO(3) NAME xo_syslog, xo_vsyslog, xo_open_log, xo_close_log, xo_set_logmask -- create SYSLOG (RFC5424) log records using libxo formatting LIBRARY library "libxo" SYNOPSIS #include <libxo/xo.h> void xo_syslog(int pri, const char *name, const char *fmt, ...); void xo_vsyslog(int pri, const char *name, const char *fmt, va_list vap); void xo_close_log(void); void xo_open_log(const char *ident, int logstat, int logfac); int xo_set_logmask(int pmask); DESCRIPTION The xo_syslog() function creates log entries following the standard de- fined in RFC5424. These messages are sent to the log syslogd(8) dae- mon, where they can be filtered, forwarded, and archived. libxo format strings are used to create both the message text and the SD-PARAMS con- tent, containing name/value pairs that can be parsed by suitable au- tomation software. Refer to xo_format(5) for basic information about formatting strings. xo_syslog encodes all value fields at SD-PARAMS within the syslog mes- sage. An exception is made for fields with the "{d:}" modifier; such fields appear in the message text only, with fields with the "{e:}" modifier appear as SD-PARAMS, but not in the message text. xo_vsyslog() accepts a va_list for additional flexibility. xo_open_log(), xo_close_log(), and xo_set_logmask() are all analogous to their libs counterparts, openlog(3), closelog(3), and setlogmask(3). The extra underscores in the names are unfortunate, but keep consis- tency in libxo function names.
