Sys::Syslog, openlog, closelog, setlogmask, syslog − Perl interface to the UNIX syslog(3) calls
use Sys::Syslog; # all except setlogsock, or: use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock); # default set, plus setlogsock setlogsock $sock_type; openlog $ident, $logopt, $facility; syslog $priority, $format, @args; $oldmask = setlogmask $mask_priority; closelog;
Sys::Syslog is an interface to the UNIX "syslog(3)" program. Call "syslog()" with a string priority and a list of "printf()" args just like "syslog(3)".
Syslog provides
the functions:
openlog $ident, $logopt,
$facility
$ident is prepended to every message. $logopt contains zero or more of the words pid, ndelay, cons, nowait. $facility specifies the part of the system
syslog $priority, $format, @args
If $priority permits, logs ($format, @args) printed as by "printf(3V)", with the addition that %m is replaced with ""$!"" (the latest error message).
setlogmask $mask_priority
Sets log mask $mask_priority and returns the old mask.
setlogsock $sock_type (added in 5.004_02)
Sets the socket type to be used for the next call to "openlog()" or "syslog()" and returns TRUE on success, undef on failure.
A value of ’unix’ will connect to the UNIX domain socket returned by the "_PATH_LOG" macro (if you system defines it) in syslog.h. A value of ’inet’ will connect to an INET socket returned by getservbyname(). If "_PATH_LOG" is unavailable or if getservbyname() fails, returns undef. Any other value croaks.
The default is for the INET socket to be used.
closelog
Closes the log file.
Note that "openlog" now takes three arguments, just like "openlog(3)".
openlog($program, ’cons,pid’, ’user’); syslog(’info’, ’this is another test’); syslog(’mail⎪warning’, ’this is a better test: %d’, time); closelog(); syslog(’debug’, ’this is the last test’); setlogsock(’unix’); openlog("$program $$", ’ndelay’, ’user’); syslog(’notice’, ’fooprogram: this is really done’); setlogsock(’inet’); $! = 55; syslog(’info’, ’problem was %m’); # %m == $! in syslog(3)
syslog(3)
Tom Christiansen <tchrist@perl.com> and Larry Wall <larry@wall.org>.
UNIX domain sockets added by Sean Robinson <robinson_s@sc.maricopa.edu> with support from Tim Bunce <Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk> and the perl5−porters mailing list.
Dependency on syslog.ph replaced with XS code by Tom Hughes <tom@compton.nu>.
