SETLOGMASK(3) Linux Programmer’s Manual SETLOGMASK(3)
NAME
setlogmask - set log priority mask
SYNOPSIS
#include <syslog.h>
int setlogmask(int mask);
DESCRIPTION
A process has a log priority mask that determines which calls to syslog(3) may be
logged. All other calls will be ignored. Logging is enabled for the priorities
that have the corresponding bit set in mask. The initial mask is such that logging
is enabled for all priorities.
The setlogmask() function sets this logmask for the current process, and returns
the previous mask. If the mask argument is 0, the current logmask is not modified.
The eight priorities are LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR, LOG_WARNING,
LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO and LOG_DEBUG. The bit corresponding to a priority p is
LOG_MASK(p). Some systems also provide a macro LOG_UPTO(p) for the mask of all
priorities in the above list up to and including p.
RETURN VALUE
This function returns the previous log priority mask.
ERRORS
None.
CONFORMING TO
XPG4. Note that the description in POSIX 1003.1-2001 is flawed.
