sia_log(3) Library Functions Manual sia_log(3)
NAME
sia_log - Log events and errors - SIA (Security Integration Architec-
ture)
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <siad.h>
int sia_log(
u_int loglevel,
char *siafmt,
...);
PARAMETERS
loglevel There are three types of log messages:
SIALOGEVENT - Log an event (not an error or problem)
SIALOGERROR - Log an error or problem (not too serious)
SIALOGALERT - Log a serious problem (SIA is SERIOUSLY
ILL)
siafmt Printer format suitable for the vfprint routine. (One of
the SIA message formats in sia.h.)
... The list of additional strings to be printed in the log, if
any.
DESCRIPTION
The sia_log() routine logs events and error messages into the sialog
file. Each entry is time and PID stamped to track when and who was
making the log entry.
The sia_log() routine appends to an existing log file. If the log file
does not exist, it is not created (no error is returned). The sialog
file is intended for debugging possible SIA problems. Use the audit
subsystem for normal auditing and logging.
RETURN VALUES
The sia_log() routine returns SIASUCCESS or SIAFAIL.
ERRORS
The errno value is not normally set explicitly by sia_* routines. The
errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from
dependent (siad_*) routines, from malloc, from stdio routines such as
fopen and vfprintf, or local routines such as catopen. Possible errors
include resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication
failures.
