1.2.1: Log Files and Events

The operating system uses a special log file named syslog. This log file is called the system log and is automatically created and tracked by the operating system. The system log is written with the log_write() function. An alternative log file may be written using the log_write_any() function. It is possible to use log_read() to query the system log and and write the records to a non-system log file using log_write_entry() to produce a filtered version of the system log. For example you could produce a log of all disk controller faults that have occurred.

A non-system log may be a special log file created by an application to describe application faults, or a subset of the system log created by the application.
