|
|
|
|
<para><filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
|
|
<filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> provide a reference
|
|
implementation of various APIs for new-style daemons,
|
|
as implemented by the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
init system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>See
|

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_fifo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information about the functions
|
|
implemented. In addition to these functions a couple
|
|
of logging prefixes are defined as macros:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#define SD_EMERG "<0>" /* system is unusable */
|
|
#define SD_ALERT "<1>" /* action must be taken immediately */
|
|
#define SD_CRIT "<2>" /* critical conditions */
|
|
#define SD_ERR "<3>" /* error conditions */
|
|
#define SD_WARNING "<4>" /* warning conditions */
|
|
#define SD_NOTICE "<5>" /* normal but significant condition */
|
|
#define SD_INFO "<6>" /* informational */
|
|
#define SD_DEBUG "<7>" /* debug-level messages */</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>These prefixes are intended to be used in
|
|
conjunction with STDERR-based logging as implemented
|
|
by systemd. If a systemd service definition file is
|
|
configured with <varname>StandardError=syslog</varname>
|
|
or <varname>StandardError=kmsg</varname> these
|
|
prefixes can be used to encode a log level in lines
|
|
printed. This is similar to the kernel
|
|
<function>printk()</function>-style logging. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>klogctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The log levels are identical to
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|
|
log level system. To use these prefixes simply prefix
|
|
every line with one of these strings. A line that is
|
|
not prefixed will be logged at the default log level
|
|
SD_INFO.</para>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>Hello World</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>A daemon may log with the log level
|
|
NOTICE by issuing this call:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>fprintf(stderr, SD_NOTICE "Hello World!\n");</programlisting>
|
|
</example>

|
|
<para>These interfaces are provided by the reference
|
|
implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
|
|
distributed with the systemd package. The algorithms
|
|
they implement are simple, and can easily be
|
|
reimplemented in daemons if it is important to support
|
|
this interface without using the reference
|
|
implementation. See the respective function man pages
|
|
for details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In addition, for details about the algorithms
|
|
check the liberally licensed reference implementation
|
|
sources:
|
|
<ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/sd-daemon.c"/>
|
|
resp. <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/sd-daemon.h"/></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These APIs are implemented in the reference
|
|
implementation's drop-in
|
|
<filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
|
|
<filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. It is
|
|
recommended that applications consuming these APIs copy
|
|
the implementation into their source tree, either
|
|
verbatim or in excerpts. These interfaces are
|
|
currently not available in a dynamic library.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The functions directly related to new-style
|
|
daemons become NOPs when -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set
|
|
during compilation. In addition, if
|
|
<filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> is compiled on
|
|
non-Linux systems they become NOPs, too.</para>
