log — log a
message from the kernel through the /dev/klog
device
#include
<sys/syslog.h>
void
log(int level,
const char *format, ...);
The
log()
function allows the kernel to send messages to user processes listening on
/dev/klog. Usually
syslogd(8) monitors
/dev/klog for these messages and writes them to a
log file.
All messages are logged using facility
LOG_KERN. See
syslog(3) for a listing of log
levels.
