LOG(9)

NAME
log - log a message from the kernel through the /dev/klog device

SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/syslog.h>
void
log(int level, const char *format, ...);

DESCRIPTION
The log() function allows the kernel to send messages to user processes listening on /dev/klog. Usually syslogd(8) is used to receive these messages and write them to a log file.

All messages are logged using facility LOG_KERN. See syslog(3) for a listing of log levels.
