A Summary of Commands

logDstPri

logDstPri

The logDstPri command creates the shared memory containing the dynamic destinations and priorities of logging messages using the logMsg() interface.

Synopsis

logDstPri [-H {dir}] [-c] [-v] [-d] [-x {cnt}] [rules]

Description

The logDstPri command reads an ASCII rules file, described in msgDst, and then sets up a shared memory segment using the information in the rules file In this way, any process in the system using the logMsg (), vlogMsg (), or logSysError () library calls can determine the appropriate priority and logging destinations for each message they send.

By default, the rules files are expected to appear in

${LOGROOT}/msgDst.rules, where ${LOGROOT} is /usr/spool/log. By default, the header files used to translate ASCII names of message indices into numbers are expected to appear in the directory ${LOGROOT}/head. An alternate directory for the header files can be specified via the -Hoption on the command line. An alternate rules file can be specified as a file name on the command line.
