#include <pappl/pappl.h>

void
papplLog(pappl_system_t *system, pappl_loglevel_t level, const char *message, ...);

void
papplLogClient(pappl_client_t *client, pappl_loglevel_t level, const char *message, ...);

void
papplLogJob(pappl_job_t *job, pappl_loglevel_t level, const char *message, ...);

DESCRIPTION

The PAPPL logging functions record messages to the configured log file.

papplLog records messages applying to the system as a whole.

papplLogClient, papplLogJob, and papplLogPrinter record messages specific to a client connection, print job, or printer respectively.

The level argument specifies a log level from debugging (PAPPL_LOGLEVEL_DEBUG) to fatal (PAPPL_LOGLEVEL_FATAL) and is used to determine whether the message is recorded to the log.

The message argument specifies the message using a printf(3) format string.
