srv_log

Write a message to the Open Server log file.

CS_RETCODE srv_log(ssp, datestamp, msgp, msglen)

SRV_SERVER    *ssp;
CS_BOOL           datestamp;
CS_CHAR           *msgp;
CS_INT              msglen;

ssp: The handle to the Open Server. This argument is optional. It is only present for backward compatibility.

datestamp: If datestamp is CS_TRUE, the current date and time is added to the beginning of the log message. If datestamp is CS_FALSE, the log message is not timestamped.

msglen: The length in bytes of msg. If the string in *msgp is null terminated, msglen can be CS_NULLTERM.

**Table 3-64: Return values (srv_log)**
Returns	To indicate
CS_SUCCEED	The routine completed successfully.
CS_FAIL	The routine failed.

srv_log writes messages to the Open Server log file. The default name of the log file is srv.log. The name can be set with srv_props.
Messages are always appended to the log file.
The name of the log file can be accessed with the srv_props routine.
The newline character is not added to the text in *msgp.
The log file is truncated based on the SRV_TRUNCATELOG property set through srv_props.
If the message length exceeds SRV_MAXMSG, Open Server truncates the message. This holds true whether or not the message is null terminated.
If srv_init has not completed, the message goes to the boot window.
