NAME¶

nng_log_set_logger - set logging handler

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <nng/nng.h>
typedef void (*nng_logger)(nng_log_level level, nng_log_facility facility,


    const char *msgid, const char *msg);
void nng_null_logger(nng_log_level, nng_log_facility, const char *, const char *);
void nng_stderr_logger(nng_log_level, nng_log_facility, const char *, const char *);
void nng_system_logger(nng_log_level, nng_log_facility, const char *, const char *);
void nng_log_set_logger(nng_logger logger);

DESCRIPTION¶

The nng_log_set_logger is used to set the base logging function to logger. The logger may be a user defined function to process log messages. Only a single logger may be registered at a time. If needed, the logger should make copies of either msgid or msg, as those may not be valid once the logger function returns.

The nng_null_logger function is an implementation of nng_logger that simply discards the content. This is the default logger, so logging is disabled by default.

The nng_stderr_logger function is an implementation that logs messages to the standard error stream. It will attempt to colorize messages by the severity, if the standard error is a terminal device. This can be supressed by setting either the NO_COLOR or NNG_LOG_NO_COLOR environment variables.

The nng_system_logger attempts to use an appropriate system facility to log messages. For POSIX systems, this means using syslog to process the messages. For other the nng_stderr_log may be used as a fallback.
