Accessing Error-Log Information through Functions

You can also work with error log information through functions that provide an open interface by allowing OS/2 applications to access error log entries. These functions are:

• LogOpenFile - used to open a log file for subsequent reading.

• LogReadEntry - used to read entries from the log file. The call supports both a direct access mechanism and a log-file search mechanism.

• LogFormatEntry - used to obtain a set of ASCII or UniCode strings that you can display after formatting the log entry.

• LogCloseFile - used to close a Log File that a LogOpenFile call opened.

As described in Problem Determination APIs, these APIs can be used with either ASCII or UniCode data.
