SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The strlog routine submits formatted messages to the log driver. You
can retrieve the messages with the getmsg system call. The flags argu‐
ment 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
The strlog routine returns the value 0 (zero). If the message is not
seen by all the readers. Otherwise, it returns the value 1.
