                <title>Description</title>

                <para><filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> provide APIs
                for new-style daemons, as implemented by the
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                init system.</para>

                <para>See
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_booted</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_fifo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_watchdog_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                for more information about the functions
                implemented. In addition to these functions, a couple
                of logging prefixes are defined as macros:</para>

                <programlisting>#define SD_EMERG   "&lt;0&gt;"  /* system is unusable */
#define SD_ALERT   "&lt;1&gt;"  /* action must be taken immediately */
#define SD_CRIT    "&lt;2&gt;"  /* critical conditions */
#define SD_ERR     "&lt;3&gt;"  /* error conditions */
#define SD_WARNING "&lt;4&gt;"  /* warning conditions */
#define SD_NOTICE  "&lt;5&gt;"  /* normal but significant condition */
#define SD_INFO    "&lt;6&gt;"  /* informational */
#define SD_DEBUG   "&lt;7&gt;"  /* debug-level messages */</programlisting>

                <para>These prefixes are intended to be used in
                conjunction with stderr-based logging as implemented
                by systemd. If a systemd service definition file is
                configured with <varname>StandardError=syslog</varname>
                or <varname>StandardError=kmsg</varname>, these
                prefixes can be used to encode a log level in lines
                printed. This is similar to the kernel
                <function>printk()</function>-style logging. See
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>klogctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                for more information.</para>

                <para>The log levels are identical to
                <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
                log level system. To use these prefixes simply prefix
                every line with one of these strings. A line that is
                not prefixed will be logged at the default log level
                SD_INFO.</para>

                <example>
                        <title>Hello World</title>

                        <para>A daemon may log with the log level
                        NOTICE by issuing this call:</para>

                        <programlisting>fprintf(stderr, SD_NOTICE "Hello World!\n");</programlisting>
                </example>
