Functions

int dlog_print (log_priority prio, const char *tag, const char *fmt,...)
 Send log with priority and tag.
int dlog_vprint (log_priority prio, const char *tag, const char *fmt, va_list ap)
 Send log with priority, tag and va_list.

The Dlog API provides functions for sending log output.

Required Header

#include <dlog.h>

Overview

Sending log message to circular buffer. dlog APIs include Priority and Tag. By using priority and Tag, we can easily filtered messages what we want to see.

priority

priority level indicates the urgency of log message

Priority Description
DLOG_DEBUG Debug messasge. - Log message which developer want to check.
DLOG_INFO Information message - Normal operational messages. above of this priority will always be logged.
DLOG_WARN Warning messages - Not an error, but indication that an error will occur if action is not taken.
DLOG_ERROR Error message - Indicate error.

Marco example for useful usage

The dlog APIs can be used by defining own macros. The macros can be defined like below examples. Thus, developers can use appropriate method as a matter of convenience.

#undef LOG_TAG
#define LOG_TAG "APP_TAG"

#define LOGI(fmt, arg...) \
    ({ do { \
        dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "%s: %s(%d) > " fmt, __MODULE__, __func__, __LINE__, ##arg); \
    } while (0); })
#define LOGW(fmt, arg...) \
        ({ do { \
            dlog_print(DLOG_WARN, LOG_TAG, "%s: %s(%d) > " fmt, __MODULE__, __func__, __LINE__, ##arg); \
        } while (0); })
#define LOGE(fmt, arg...) \
        ({ do { \
            dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "%s: %s(%d) > " fmt, __MODULE__, __func__, __LINE__, ##arg); \
        } while (0); })

dlogutil

Introduction

You can use dlogutil command to view and follow the contents of the log buffers. The general usage is :

dlogutil [<option>] ... [<filter-spec>] ...

Filtering log output

Every log message has a tag and a priority associated with it. Filter expression follows this format tag:priority where tag indicates the tag of interest and priority indicates the minimum level of priority to report for that tag. You can add any number of tag:priority specifications in a single filter expression. The tag of a log message is a short indicating the system component from which the message originates The priority is one of the following character values, orderd from lowest to highest priority:
D - debug
I - info
W - warning
E - Error

for example, if you want to see MY_APP tag and above of debug priority,

# dlogutil MY_APP:D

if you want to see all log message above of info priority.

# dlogutil *:I

List of logutil command options

Option Description
-b <buffer> Alternate log buffer. The main buffer is used by default buffer.
-c Clears the entire log and exits
-d Dumps the log and exits.
-f <filename> Writes log to filename. The default is stdout
-g Print the size of the specified log buffer and exits.
-n <count> Sets the maximum number of rotated logs to count. The default value is 4. Requires the -r option
-r <Kbytes> Rotates the log file every Kbytes of output. The default value is 16. Requires the -f option.
-s Sets the default filter spec to silent.
-v <format>

Sets the output format for log messages. The default is brief format.
