65 | <title>Description</title> | |
66 | ||
67 | <para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> may be used to | |
68 | create a log stream file descriptor. Log messages written to this | |
69 | file descriptor as simple newline-separated text strings are | |
70 | written to the journal. This file descriptor can be used | |
71 | internally by applications or be made standard output or standard | |
72 | error of other processes executed.</para> | |
73 | ||
74 | <para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> takes a short | |
75 | program identifier string as first argument, which will be written | |
76 | to the journal as _SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER= field for each log entry | |
77 | (see | |
78 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
79 | for more information). The second argument shall be the default | |
80 | priority level for all messages. The priority level is one of | |
81 | <constant>LOG_EMERG</constant>, <constant>LOG_ALERT</constant>, | |
82 | <constant>LOG_CRIT</constant>, <constant>LOG_ERR</constant>, | |
83 | <constant>LOG_WARNING</constant>, <constant>LOG_NOTICE</constant>, | |
84 | <constant>LOG_INFO</constant>, <constant>LOG_DEBUG</constant>, as | |
85 | defined in <filename>syslog.h</filename>, see | |
86 | <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
87 | for details. The third argument is a boolean: if true kernel-style | |
88 | log level prefixes (such as <constant>SD_WARNING</constant>) are | |
89 | interpreted, see | |
90 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
91 | for more information.</para> | |
92 | ||
93 | <para>It is recommended that applications log UTF-8 messages only | |
94 | with this API, but this is not enforced.</para> | |
