SD-DAEMON(3)                      sd-daemon                     SD-DAEMON(3)

NAME         top

       sd-daemon, SD_EMERG, SD_ALERT, SD_CRIT, SD_ERR, SD_WARNING,
       SD_NOTICE, SD_INFO, SD_DEBUG - APIs for new-style daemons

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-daemon.h>
       pkg-config --cflags --libs libsystemd

DESCRIPTION         top

       sd-daemon.h provides APIs for new-style daemons, as implemented by
       the systemd(1) service manager.
       See sd_listen_fds(3), sd_notify(3), sd_booted(3), sd_is_fifo(3),
       sd_watchdog_enabled(3) for more information about the functions
       implemented. In addition to these functions, a couple of logging
       prefixes are defined as macros:
           #define SD_EMERG   "<0>"  /* system is unusable */
           #define SD_ALERT   "<1>"  /* action must be taken immediately */
           #define SD_CRIT    "<2>"  /* critical conditions */
           #define SD_ERR     "<3>"  /* error conditions */
           #define SD_WARNING "<4>"  /* warning conditions */
           #define SD_NOTICE  "<5>"  /* normal but significant condition */
           #define SD_INFO    "<6>"  /* informational */
           #define SD_DEBUG   "<7>"  /* debug-level messages */
       These prefixes are intended to be used in conjunction with
       stderr-based logging as implemented by systemd. If a systemd service
       definition file is configured with StandardError=journal,
       StandardError=syslog or StandardError=kmsg, these prefixes can be
       used to encode a log level in lines printed. This is similar to the
       kernel printk()-style logging. See klogctl(2) for more information.
       The log levels are identical to syslog(3)'s log level system. To use
       these prefixes simply prefix every line with one of these strings. A
       line that is not prefixed will be logged at the default log level
       SD_INFO.
       Example 1. Hello World
       A daemon may log with the log level NOTICE by issuing this call:
           fprintf(stderr, SD_NOTICE "Hello World!\n");

NOTES         top

       These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled
       and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
