Detailed Description

DataSource's log files keep a record of all data and to what destinations the data was sent.

The DataSource SDK logging API permits you to create your own logging functions

Log file names can use the following abbreviations:

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct _ds_log ds_log_t

The log file object.

typedef void(* ds_logcycled_t) (ds_log_t *log)

Callback used when the log has cycled.

Parameters
logThe logfile that has cycled
typedef void(* ds_loglevelchange_t) (ds_log_t *log, int new_level)

Callback used when the logging level of a log file is changed.

Parameters
logThe logfile the change has happend to

Function Documentation

void ds_cycle_all_logs ( const char *  suffix,
long  maxsize 
)

Cycle all log files in the application.

Parameters
suffixSuffix to use for the filename of the old log
maxsizeSize (in bytes) at which logs are cycled
Note
Log cycling can be configured and this function is only of use if customised cycling is required

If maxsize is -1 the configured default is used. If maxsize is 0 then the log isn't cycled based on size.

int ds_cycle_log ( ds_log_t log,

)

Cycle a specific log file.

Parameters
logThe Log object
suffixSuffix to use for the filename of the old log
maxsizeSize (in bytes) at which logs are cycled
Return values
0- Log file was cycled
-1- Log file was not cycled

If maxsize is -1 the configured default is used. If maxsize is 0 then the log isn't cycled based on size.

int ds_debug_level ( const char *  text)
