int setlogmask(int mask);
A process has a log priority mask that determines which calls to
syslog(3) may be logged. All other calls will be ignored. Logging is
enabled 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 current 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 corresponding 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.
This function returns the previous log priority mask.
None.
