    <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=journal</varname>,
    <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>
