Logging API Interfaces

Modules that require logging must include the header filelogger.h.

The following API functions are declared in logger.h:

In addition to the method references, logger.h also contains the datatype:

typedef struct logger_context logger_context;

• log_open
  Use the log_open method to initialize RAPLogging.
• log_init_resource
  Use the log_init_resource method to initialize a resource bundle.
• log_message
  The log_message method writes the logging message and level into the log file.
• log_rsrc_message
  Logs the message identified by the msgKey key at the specified logging level and against the error code err_num.
• log_close
  The log_close method closes the log file and log hierarchy.
• log_init_from_context
  The log_init_from_context method initializes the RAPLogging from an existing context created by a previous call to log_open().
• log_get_context
  The log_get_context method returns a pointer to the logger_context used by current RAPLogging instance.
• log_hexdump
  Format and log a traditional memory dump starting at the address supplied and the length supplied. Use the supplied context string at the top and bottom to make it easy to identify. Use the internal logger-> debug function to write it to the current log file.
• log_message_force
  The log_message_force method writes the logging message and level into the log file.
• log_rsrc_message_force
  The log_rsrc_message_force method writes the logging message and level into the log file, regardless of the filter value of the log level.
