Function

GLiblog_set_handler

Declaration [src]

guint
g_log_set_handler (
  const gchar* log_domain,
  GLogLevelFlags log_levels,
  GLogFunc log_func,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description [src]

Sets the log handler for a domain and a set of log levels.

To handle fatal and recursive messages the log_levels parameter must be combined with the G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL and G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION bit flags.

Note that since the G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR log level is always fatal, if you want to set a handler for this log level you must combine it with G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL.

This has no effect if structured logging is enabled; see Using Structured Logging.

Here is an example for adding a log handler for all warning messages in the default domain:

g_log_set_handler (NULL, G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL
                   | G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, my_log_handler, NULL);

This example adds a log handler for all critical messages from GTK:

g_log_set_handler ("Gtk", G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL
                   | G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, my_log_handler, NULL);

This example adds a log handler for all messages from GLib:

g_log_set_handler ("GLib", G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL
                   | G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, my_log_handler, NULL);

This function is not directly available to language bindings.

The implementation of this function is provided by g_log_set_handler_full() in language bindings.
