| # Kernel logger for Rust |
| |
| Logger implementation for low level kernel log (using `/dev/kmsg`) |
| |
| Usually intended for low level implementations, like [systemd generators][1], |
| which have to use `/dev/kmsg`: |
| |
| > Since syslog is not available (see above) write log messages to /dev/kmsg instead. |
| |

| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```toml |
| [dependencies] |
| log = "0.4" |
| kernlog = "0.3" |
| ``` |
| |
| ```rust |
| #[macro_use] |
| extern crate log; |
| extern crate kernlog; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| kernlog::init().unwrap(); |
| warn!("something strange happened"); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| Note you have to have permissions to write to `/dev/kmsg`, |
| which normal users (not root) usually don't. |
