setlogmask(3) Library Functions Manual setlogmask(3) NAME setlogmask - set log priority mask LIBRARY Standard C library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <syslog.h> int setlogmask(int mask); DESCRIPTION A process has a log priority mask that determines which calls to sys- log(3) may be logged. All other calls will be ignored. Logging is en- abled 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 calling 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 correspond- ing 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.
