dnsjit.core.log(3)

NAME
dnsjit.core.log - Core logging facility

SYNOPSIS

  Usage to control global log level
  local log = require("dnsjit.core.log")
  log.enable("all")
  log.disable("debug")

  Usage to control module log level
  local example = require("example") -- Example as below
  example.log():enable("all")
  example.log():disable("debug")

  Usage to control object instance log level
  local example = require("example") -- Example as below
  local obj = example.new()
  obj:log():enable("all")
  obj:log():disable("debug")

  Usage in C module
NOTE naming of variables and module only globals are required to exactly as described in order for the macros to work; self is the pointer to the object instance, self->_log is the object instance logging configuration struct, _log is the module logging configuration struct.

Include logging:
  #include "core/log.h"

Add the logging struct to the module struct:
  typedef struct example {
      core_log_t _log;
      ...
  } example_t;

Add a module logging configuration and a struct default:
  static core_log_t _log = LOG_T_INIT("example");
  static example_t _defaults = {
      LOG_T_INIT_OBJ("example"),
      ...
  };

Use new/free and/or init/destroy functions (depends if you create the object in Lua or not):
  example_t* example_new() {
      example_t* self = calloc(1, sizeof(example_t));

      *self = _defaults;
      ldebug("new()");

      return self;
  }

  void example_free(example_t* self) {
      ldebug("free()");
      free(self);
  }

  int example_init(example_t* self) {
      *self = _defaults;

      ldebug("init()");

      return 0;
  }

  void example_destroy(example_t* self) {
      ldebug("destroy()");
      ...
  }

In the Lua part of the C module you need to create a function that returns either the object instance Log or the modules Log.

Add C function to get module only Log:
  core_log_t* example_log() {
      return &_log;
  }

For the structures metatable add the following function:
  local ffi = require("ffi")
  local C = ffi.C

  function Example:log()
      if self == nil then
          return C.example_log()
      end
      return self._log
  end

  Usage in pure Lua module
  local log = require("dnsjit.core.log")
  local ffi = require("ffi")
  local C = ffi.C

  local Example = {}
  local module_log = log.new("example")

  function Example.new()
      local self = setmetatable({
          _log = log.new("example", module_log),
      }, { __index = Example })

      self._log:debug("new()")

      return self
  end

  function Example:log()
      if self == nil then
          return module_log
      end
      return self._log
  end

DESCRIPTION
Core logging facility used by all modules.

  Log levels

all Keyword to enable/disable all changeable log levels.

debug
    Used for debug information.

info
    Used for informational processing messages.

notice
    Used for messages of that may have impact on processing.

warning
    Used for messages that has impact on processing.

critical
    Used for messages that have severe impact on processing, this level can not be disabled.

fatal
    Used to display a message before stopping all processing and existing, this level can not be disabled.

  C macros

Object instance macros
    The following macros uses &self->_log: ldebug(msg...), linfo(msg...), lnotice(msg...), lwarning(msg...), lcritical(msg...), lfatal(msg...).

Object pointer instance macros
    The following macros uses self->_log: lpdebug(msg...), lpinfo(msg...), lpnotice(msg...), lpwarning(msg...), lpcritical(msg...), lpfatal(msg...).

Module macros
    The following macros uses &_log: mldebug(msg...), mlinfo(msg...), mlnotice(msg...), mlwarning(msg...), mlcritical(msg...), mlfatal(msg...).

Global macros
    The following macros uses the global logging configuration: gldebug(msg...), glinfo(msg...), glnotice(msg...), glwarning(msg...), glcritical(msg...), glfatal(msg...).

  Functions

Log.new(name, module)
    Create a new Log object with the given module name and an optional shared module Log object.

Log:enable(level)
    Enable specified log level.

Log:disable(level)
    Disable specified log level.

Log:clear(level)
    Clear specified log level, which means it will revert back to default or inherited settings.

Log:display_file_line(bool)
    Enable or disable the displaying of file and line for messages.

Log.errstr(errno)
    Convert error number to its text representation.

Log.debug(self, ...)
    Generate a debug message.

Log.info(self, ...)
    Generate an info message.

Log.notice(self, ...)
    Generate a notice message.

Log.warning(self, ...)
    Generate a warning message.

Log.critical(self, ...)
    Generate a critical message.

Log.fatal(self, ...)
    Generate a fatal message.
