-Error Logging System
-The error logging system provides:
-
--
-Error message routines that can be called by ioc code.
-
--
-Provision for multiple system wide error loggers..
-
--
-A task (errlog) that handles the messages generated by the client routines.
-It displays messages on the target console and also gives them to any registered
-system wide error loggers.
-
--
-iocLog: A system wide error logger that writes all error message to a file.
-
-
-
-Overview
-
-
--
-The error message routines can be called by any non-interrupt level code.
-
--
-Task errlog manages the messages. Messages are placed in a message queue,
-which is read by the errlog task. The message queue uses a fixed block
-of memory to hold all messages. When the message queue is full additional
-messages are rejected but a count of missed messages is kept. The next
-time the message queue empties an extra message about the missed messages
-is generated.
-
--
-The maximum message size is 256 characters. If a message is
-longer, the message is truncated and a message explaining that it was truncated
-is appended. There is a chance that long messages corrupt memory. This
-only happens if client code is defective. Long messages most likely result
-from "%s" formats with a bad string argument.
-
--
-The error message routines are partially implemented on the host. The host
-version just calls fprintf or vfprintf instead of using a separate task
-and a message queue. Thus host messages are NOT sent to a system wide error
-logger.
-
-
-
-Client Routines
-Basic Routines
-typedef enum {
- errlogInfo,errlogMinor,errlogMajor,errlogFatal
-}errlogSevEnum;
-
-int errlogPrintf(const char *pformat, ...);
-int errlogVprintf(const char *pformat,va_list pvar);
-
-int errlogSevPrintf(const errlogSevEnum severity,
- const char *pformat, ...);
-int errlogSevVprintf(const errlogSevEnum severity,
- const char *pformat,va_list pvar);
-
-int errlogMessage( const char *message);
-
-char * errlogGetSevEnumString(const errlogSevEnum severity);
-
-void errlogSetSevToLog(const errlogSevEnum severity );
-errlogSevEnum errlogGetSevToLog(void);
-These are the basic client routines.
-
-errlogPrintf and errlogVprintf act just like printf and vprintf.
-
-
errlogSevPrintf and errlogSevVprintf are similar except that they also
-add the severity to the beginning of the message in the form "sevr=<value>"
-where value is on of "info, minor, major, fatal". Also the message is suppressed
-if severity is less than the current severity to suppress.
-
-
errlogMessage just logs message.
-
-
errlogGetSevEnumString gets the string value of severity.
-
-
errlogSetSevToLog sets the severity to log. errlogGetSevToLog gets the
-current severity to log.
-Status Routines
-
-
void errMessage(long status, char *message);
-
-void errPrintf(long status, const char *pFileName,
- int lineno, const char *pformat, ...);
-errMessage is just a macro that calls errPrintf. errPrintf is meant to
-be called as follows:
- errPrintf(status,__FILE__, __LINE__,"<format>",...)
- The argument status is described in the Application Developer's guide.
-The arguments __FILE__ and __LINE__ are standard C preprocessor variables.
-
-Obsolete Routines
-int epicsPrintf(const char *pformat, ...);
-int epicsVprintf(const char *pformat,va_list pvar);
-These are exactly like errlogPrintf and errlogVprintf. They are provided
-because a lot of existing code calls them,.
-Add and Remove Log Listener
-typedef void(*errlogListener) (const char *message);
-void errlogAddListener(errlogListener listener);
-void errlogRemoveListener(errlogListener listener);
-These routines add/remove a callback that receives each error message.
-
-target console routines
-void eltc(int yesno); /* error log to console (0 or 1) */
-void errlogInit(int bufsize);
-
-eltc determines if errlog task writes message to the console. If error
-messages storms are occuring the command can be used to suppress the messages.
-A argument of 0 suppresses the messages and any other value lets the message
-go to the console.
-
-errlogInit can be used to initialize the error logging system with a
-larger buffer. The default is 1280 bytes. An extra MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE (currently
-256) bytes are allocated but never used. This is a small extra protection
-against long error messages.
-
-iocLog
-This consists of two modules: iocLogServer and iocLogClient. The client
-code runs on each ioc and listens for the messages generated by the errlog
-system. It also reports the messages from vxWorks logMsg.
-
-iocLogServer
-This runs on a host. It receives messages for all enabled iocLogClients
-in the local area network. The messages are written to a file. Epics base
-provides a startup file "base/src/util/rc2.logServer", which is a shell
-script to start the server. Consult this script for details.
-
-iocLogClient
-This runs on each ioc. It is started by default when iocInit runs. The
-global variable iocLogDisable can be used to enable/disable the messages
-from being sent to the server. Setting this variable to (0,1) (enables,disables)
-the messages generation. If iocLogDisable is set to 1 immediately
-after iocCore is loaded then iocLogClient will not even initialize itself.
