               short minorid,
               char level,
               unsigned short flags,

 submitting the message.  Specifies the  identification
       number for a particular minor device.  Specifies the tracing
 level for selective  screening  of  low-priority  messages.
   Specifies  a  flag value. You can pass one of the
       following valid flag values: Pass the message to the error
       logger.   Pass  the message to the tracer.  Print the message
 on the console terminal.  Specifies  a  printf  style

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  strlog  routine submits formatted messages to the log
       driver. You can retrieve the messages with the getmsg system
 call. The flags argument specifies the type of message
       and where it is to be sent. The  strace  command  receives
       messages  from  the log driver and sends them to the standard
 output. The strerr  daemon  receives  error  messages
       from  the  log  driver  and  appends them to a file called
       /var/adm/streams/error.mm-dd, where mm-dd  identifies  the
       date of the error message.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The strlog routine returns the value 0 (zero). If the message
 is not seen by all the readers. Otherwise, it returns
       the value 1.
