- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
- <filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> provide a reference
- implementation of various APIs for new-style daemons,
- as implemented by the
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- init system.</para>
-
- <para>See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_fifo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for more information about the functions
- implemented. In addition to these functions a couple
- of logging prefixes are defined as macros:</para>
-
- <programlisting>#define SD_EMERG "&lt;0&gt;" /* system is unusable */
-#define SD_ALERT "&lt;1&gt;" /* action must be taken immediately */
-#define SD_CRIT "&lt;2&gt;" /* critical conditions */
-#define SD_ERR "&lt;3&gt;" /* error conditions */
-#define SD_WARNING "&lt;4&gt;" /* warning conditions */
-#define SD_NOTICE "&lt;5&gt;" /* normal but significant condition */
-#define SD_INFO "&lt;6&gt;" /* informational */
-#define SD_DEBUG "&lt;7&gt;" /* debug-level messages */</programlisting>
-
- <para>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 <varname>StandardError=syslog</varname>
- or <varname>StandardError=kmsg</varname> these
- prefixes can be used to encode a log level in lines
- printed. This is similar to the kernel
- <function>printk()</function>-style logging. See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>klogctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for more information.</para>
-
- <para>The log levels are identical to
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'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.</para>
-
- <example>
- <title>Hello World</title>
-
- <para>A daemon may log with the log level
- NOTICE by issuing this call:</para>
-
- <programlisting>fprintf(stderr, SD_NOTICE "Hello World!\n");</programlisting>
- </example>

-
- <para>These interfaces are provided by the reference
- implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
- distributed with the systemd package. The algorithms
- they implement are simple, and can easily be
- reimplemented in daemons if it is important to support
- this interface without using the reference
- implementation. See the respective function man pages
- for details.</para>
-
- <para>In addition, for details about the algorithms
- check the liberally licensed reference implementation
- sources:
- <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/libsystemd-daemon/sd-daemon.c"/>
- and <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/systemd/sd-daemon.h"/></para>
-
- <para>These APIs are implemented in the reference
- implementation's <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
- <filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. These
- interfaces are available as shared library, which can
- be compiled and linked to with the
- <literal>libsystemd-daemon</literal>
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- file. Alternatively, applications consuming these APIs
- may copy the implementation into their source tree,
- either verbatim or in excerpts.</para>
-
- <para>The functions directly related to new-style
- daemons become NOPs when -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set
- during compilation and the reference implementation is
- used as drop-in files. In addition, if
- <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> is compiled on
- non-Linux systems they become NOPs.</para>
