Can please some one explain me how to use sd_journal_sendv system call? I tried to use with below code snippet but input strings are interpreted as BLOB by journald.
#include <iostream>
#include <iostream>
#include <sys/uio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <systemd/sd-journal.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
char buf0[50];
char buf1[50];
char buf2[50];
int iovcnt;
struct iovec iov[3];
strcpy(buf0,"MESSAGE=Hello World!");
strcpy(buf1,"MESSAGE_ID=52fb62f99e2c4");
strcpy(buf2,"PRIORITY=5");
iov[0].iov_base = buf0;
iov[0].iov_len = sizeof(buf0);
iov[1].iov_base = buf1;
iov[1].iov_len = sizeof(buf1);
iov[2].iov_base = buf2;
iov[2].iov_len = sizeof(buf2);
iovcnt = sizeof(iov) / sizeof(struct iovec);
int ret = sd_journal_sendv (iov, iovcnt);
if ret(!=0)
cout<<"sendv "<<strerror(ret)<<endl;
return 0;
}
I have written "Hello world!", 52fb62f99e2c4, 5 for MESSAGE, MESSAGE_ID and PRIORITY respectively. but in journal I can see they are written as BLOB.
MESSAGE=[92B blob data]
MESSAGE_ID=[89B blob data]
PRIORITY=[91B blob data]
You aren't passing the sizes of your fields in .iov_len
. This causes the 50-byte bufs to contain garbage at the end. journalctl
shows those as blob data because it is invalid UTF-8.
