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.
