| DESCRIPTION |
| liblog represents an interface to the volatile Android Logging system |
| for NDK (Native) applications and libraries. Interfaces for either |
| writing or reading logs. The log buffers are divided up in Main, Sys‐ |
| tem, Radio and Events sub-logs. |
| |
| The logging interfaces are a series of macros, all of which can be |
| overridden individually in order to control the verbosity of the appli‐ |
| cation or library. [ASR]LOG[VDIWE] calls are used to log to BAsic, |
| System or Radio sub-logs in either the Verbose, Debug, Info, Warning or |
| Error priorities. [ASR]LOG[VDIWE]_IF calls are used to perform thus |
| based on a condition being true. IF_ALOG[VDIWE] calls are true if the |
| current LOG_TAG is enabled at the specified priority. LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL |
| is used to ALOG a message, then kill the process. LOG_FATAL call is a |
| variant of LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL, only enabled in engineering, and not |
| release builds. ALOG_ASSERT is used to ALOG a message if the condition |
| is false; the condition is part of the logged message. |
| LOG_EVENT_(INT|LONG) is used to drop binary content into the Events |
| sub-log. |
| |
| The log reading interfaces permit opening the logs either singly or |
| multiply, retrieving a log entry at a time in time sorted order, |
| optionally limited to a specific pid and tail of the log(s) and finally |
| a call closing the logs. A single log can be opened with android_log‐ |
| ger_list_open; or multiple logs can be opened with android_log‐ |
| ger_list_alloc, calling in turn the android_logger_open for each log |
| id. Each entry can be retrieved with android_logger_list_read. The |
| log(s) can be closed with android_logger_list_free. The logs should be |
| opened with an ANDROID_LOG_RDONLY mode. ANDROID_LOG_NONBLOCK mode |
| will report when the log reading is done with an EAGAIN error return |
| code, otherwise the android_logger_list_read call will block for new |
| entries. |
| |
| The ANDROID_LOG_WRAP mode flag to the android_logger_list_alloc_time |
| signals logd to quiesce the reader until the buffer is about to prune |
| at the start time then proceed to dumping content. |
| |
| The ANDROID_LOG_PSTORE mode flag to the android_logger_open is used to |
| switch from the active logs to the persistent logs from before the last |
| reboot. |
| |
| The value returned by android_logger_open can be used as a parameter to |
| the android_logger_clear function to empty the sub-log. It is recom‐ |
| mended to only open log ANDROID_LOG_WRONLY in that case. |
| |
| The value returned by android_logger_open can be used as a parameter to |
| the android_logger_get_log_(size|readable_size|version) to retrieve the |
| sub-log maximum size, readable size and log buffer format protocol ver‐ |
| sion respectively. android_logger_get_id returns the id that was used |
| when opening the sub-log. It is recommended to open the log |
| ANDROID_LOG_RDONLY in these cases. |
| |
| android_set_log_transport() selects transport filters. Argument is |
| either LOGGER_DEFAULT, LOGGER_LOGD, LOGGER_NULL or LOGGER_LOCAL. Log to |
| logger daemon for default or logd, drop contents on floor, or log into |
| local memory respectively. Both android_set_log_transport() |
| and android_get_log_transport() return the current transport mask, or |
| a negative errno for any problems. |
| |
| ERRORS |
| If messages fail, a negative error code will be returned to the caller. |
| |
| The -ENOTCONN return code indicates that the logger daemon is stopped. |
| |
| The -EBADF return code indicates that the log access point can not be |
| opened, or the log buffer id is out of range. |
| |
| For the -EAGAIN return code, this means that the logging message was |
| temporarily backed-up either because of Denial Of Service (DOS) logging |
| pressure from some chatty application or service in the Android system, |
| or if too small of a value is set in /proc/sys/net/unix/max_dgram_qlen. |
| To aid in diagnosing the occurence of this, a binary event from liblog |
| will be sent to the log daemon once a new message can get through |
| indicating how many messages were dropped as a result. Please take |
| action to resolve the structural problems at the source. |
| |
| It is generally not advised for the caller to retry the -EAGAIN return |
| code as this will only make the problem(s) worse and cause your |
| application to temporarily drop to the logger daemon priority, BATCH |
| scheduling policy and background task cgroup. If you require a group of |
| messages to be passed atomically, merge them into one message with |
| embedded newlines to the maximum length LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_PAYLOAD. |
| |
| Other return codes from writing operation can be returned. Since the |
| library retries on EINTR, -EINTR should never be returned. |
