DESCRIPTION

These functions consistently format and output messages on standard error. See kutil_openlog(3) for configuring an alternative log destination.

These functions accept the following variables:

const struct kreq *r

Active request handle opened with khttp_parse(3). If NULL, the remote host field will be omitted.

const char *level

A human-readable log level. If NULL, no level is printed. For functions not accepting this argument, the INFO, WARN, and ERROR values are used for the informational, warning, and error functions, respectively.

const char *ident

The client identity of the caller. This adheres to the common CGI practise of connecting a message to a logged-in user. If NULL, no ident is printed.

const char *fmt

The printf(3) style format string for the variable argument or argument list following. This formats the log message. If NULL, no message is printed.

The kutil_err(), kutil_errx(), kutil_verr(), and kutil_verrx() functions exit with EXIT_FAILURE. They never return.

Output format

The log messages are filtered on output: non-printable (see isprint(3)) characters are replaced with “?” and space characters (\a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v, \0) are shown as literal escape characters.

The kutil_err(), kutil_verr(), kutil_log(), kutil_vlog(), kutil_vwarn(), and kutil_warn() functions print out the current errno following the log message.

The output format is as follows, with a trailing newline:

addr ident [date] level msg
addr ident [date] level msg: errmsg

Here, "addr" is the remote host as passed to the CGI script or "-" if r is NULL; and where "ident" "level" and "msg", if NULL, will be rendered as "-". The date is formatted as an HTTP date (RFC 822) in GMT.
