strlog(9r)
NAME
  strlog - General: Submits messages for logging

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/stream.h>
  #include <sys/strlog.h>

  int strlog(
	  short driverid,
	  short minorid,
	  char level,
	  unsigned short flags,
	  char *format,
	  unsigned arg1,
	    );

ARGUMENTS
  driverid
      Specifies the identification number of the driver or module submitting
      the message.

  minorid
      Specifies the identification number for a particular minor device.

  level
      Specifies the tracing level for selective screening of low-priority
      messages.

  flags
      Specifies a flag value. You can pass one of the following valid flag
      values:

      SL_ERROR
	      Pass the message to the error logger.

      SL_TRACE
	      Pass the message to the tracer.

      SL_CONSOLE
	      Print the message on the console terminal.

  format
      Specifies a printf style format string.  The % s, % e, % g, and % G
      formats are not allowed.

  arg1
      Specifies zero or more arguments to the printf routine.

DESCRIPTION
  The strlog routine submits formatted messages to the log driver. You can
  retrieve the messages with the getmsg system call. The flags argument
  specifies the type of message and where it is to be sent. The strace
  command receives messages from the log driver and sends them to the
  standard output. The strerr daemon receives error messages from the log
  driver and appends them to a file called /var/adm/streams/error.mm-dd,
  where mm-dd identifies the date of the error message.

RETURN VALUES
  The strlog routine returns the value 0 (zero). If the message is not seen
  by all the readers. Otherwise, it returns the value 1.
