|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
wLog \- WinPR logging facility
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
wLog is a configurable and flexible logging system used throughout WinPR and
|
|
FreeRDP.
|
|
|
|
The primary concept is to have a hierarchy of loggers that can be be configured
|
|
independently.
|
|
|
|
.SH Appenders
|
|
|
|
WLog uses different appenders that define where the log output should be written
|
|
to. If the application doesn't explicitly configure the appenders the below
|
|
described variable WLOG_APPENDER can be used to choose one appender.
|
|
|
|
The following kind of appenders are available:
|
|
|
|
.IP Binary
|
|
Write the log data into a binary format file.
|
|
|
|
.IP Console
|
|
The console appender writes to the console. Depending of the operating system
|
|
the application runs on, the output might be handled differently. For example
|
|
on android log print would be used.
|
|
|
|
.IP File
|
|
The file appender writes the textual output to a file.
|
|
|
|
.IP Udp
|
|
This appender sends the logging messages to a pre-defined remote host via UDP.
|
|
|
|
If no target is set the default one 127.0.0.1:20000 is used. To receive the
|
|
log messages one can use netcat. To receive the default target the following
|
|
command can be used:
|
|
nc -u 127.0.0.1 -p 20000 -l
|
|
.IP Syslog
|
|
Use syslog for outputting the debug messages.
|
|
.IP Journald
|
|
This appender outputs messages to journald.
|
|
|
|
