72 <title>Description</title>
73
74 <para><filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> provide APIs for new-style
75 daemons, as implemented by the
76 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
77 init system.</para>
78

85 for more information about the functions implemented. In addition
86 to these functions, a couple of logging prefixes are defined as
87 macros:</para>
88
89 <programlisting>#define SD_EMERG "&lt;0&gt;" /* system is unusable */
90#define SD_ALERT "&lt;1&gt;" /* action must be taken immediately */
91#define SD_CRIT "&lt;2&gt;" /* critical conditions */
92#define SD_ERR "&lt;3&gt;" /* error conditions */
93#define SD_WARNING "&lt;4&gt;" /* warning conditions */
94#define SD_NOTICE "&lt;5&gt;" /* normal but significant condition */
95#define SD_INFO "&lt;6&gt;" /* informational */
96#define SD_DEBUG "&lt;7&gt;" /* debug-level messages */</programlisting>
97
98 <para>These prefixes are intended to be used in conjunction with
99 stderr-based logging as implemented by systemd. If a systemd
100 service definition file is configured with
101 <varname>StandardError=journal</varname>,
102 <varname>StandardError=syslog</varname> or
103 <varname>StandardError=kmsg</varname>, these prefixes can be used
104 to encode a log level in lines printed. This is similar to the
105 kernel <function>printk()</function>-style logging. See
106 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>klogctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
107 for more information.</para>
108
109 <para>The log levels are identical to
110 <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
111 log level system. To use these prefixes simply prefix every line
112 with one of these strings. A line that is not prefixed will be
113 logged at the default log level SD_INFO.</para>
114
115 <example>
116 <title>Hello World</title>
117
118 <para>A daemon may log with the log level NOTICE by issuing this
119 call:</para>
120
121 <programlisting>fprintf(stderr, SD_NOTICE "Hello World!\n");</programlisting>
122 </example>
