** Syslog(Class)
Superclass: Object
Mix-ins: Syslog::Constants
require 'syslog'
A Simple wrapper for the UNIX syslog system calls that might be handy
if you're writing a server in Ruby. For the details of the syslog(8)
architecture and constants, see the syslog(3) manual page of your
platform.
Class Methods:
open(ident = $0, logopt = Syslog::LOG_PID | Syslog::LOG_CONS,
facility = Syslog::LOG_USER) [{ |syslog| ... }]
Opens syslog with the given options and returns the singleton
object of the Syslog class. If a block is given, calls it
with an argument of the object. If syslog is already opened,
raises RuntimeError.
Example:
sl = Syslog.open('ftpd', Syslog::LOG_PID | Syslog::LOG_NDELAY,
Syslog::LOG_FTP)
instance
Returns the singleton object.
LOG_MASK(pri)
Creates a mask for one priority.
LOG_UPTO(pri)
Creates a mask for all priorities up to pri.
Methods:
open(ident = $0, logopt = Syslog::LOG_PID | Syslog::LOG_CONS,
facility = Syslog::LOG_USER)
Opens syslog with the given options. If syslog is already
opened, raises RuntimeError.
open!(ident = $0, logopt = Syslog::LOG_PID | Syslog::LOG_CONS,
facility = Syslog::LOG_USER)
reopen(ident = $0, logopt = Syslog::LOG_PID | Syslog::LOG_CONS,
facility = Syslog::LOG_USER)
Same as open, but does a close first.
opened?
Returns true if syslog opened, otherwise false.
ident
options
facility
Returns the parameters given in the last open, respectively.
Every call of Syslog::open/Syslog#open resets those values.
log(pri, message, ...)
Writes message to syslog.
Example:
sl.log(Syslog::LOG_CRIT, "the sky is falling in %d seconds!", 10)
crit(message, ...)
emerg(message, ...)
alert(message, ...)
err(message, ...)
warning(message, ...)
notice(message, ...)
info(message, ...)
debug(message, ...)
These are shortcut methods of Syslog#log(). The Lineup may
vary depending on what priorities are defined on your system.
Example:
sl.crit("the sky is falling in %d seconds!",5)
mask
mask=(mask)
Returns or sets the log priority mask. The value of the mask
is persistent and Syslog::open/Syslog#open/Syslog#close don't
reset it.
Example:
sl.mask = Syslog::LOG_UPTO(Syslog::LOG_ERR)
close
Closes syslog.
inspect
Returns the "inspect" string of the object.
** Syslog::Constants(Module)
Superclass: Object
require 'syslog'
include Syslog::Constants
This module includes the LOG_* constants available on the system.
