Kernel Functions for Drivers                         scsi_log(9F)



NAME
     scsi_log - display a SCSI-device-related message

SYNOPSIS
     #include 
      #include 



     void scsi_log(dev_info_t *dip, char *drv_name, uint_t level,
          const char *fmt, ...);


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS
     dip         Pointer to the dev_info structure.


     drv_name    String naming the device.


     level       Error level.


     fmt         Display format.


DESCRIPTION
     The scsi_log() function is a utility function that  displays
     a message via the cmn_err(9F) routine. The error levels that
     can be passed in to this  function  are  CE_PANIC,  CE_WARN,
     CE_NOTE,  CE_CONT, and SCSI_DEBUG. The last level is used to
     assist in displaying debug messages  to  the  console  only.
     drv_name  is  the  short name by which this device is known;
     example disk driver names are sd and cmdk. If the dev_info_t
     pointer is NULL, then the drv_name will be used with no unit
     or long name.


     If the first character in format is:

         o    An exclamation mark (!), the message goes  only  to
              the system buffer.

         o    A caret (^), the message goes only to the console.

         o    A question mark (?) and level is CE_CONT, the  mes-
              sage  is  always  sent to the system buffer, but is
              written to the console only  when  the  system  has
              been  booted  in  verbose  mode. See kernel(1M). If

              neither condition is met, the ?  character  has  no
              effect and is simply ignored.


     All formatting conversions in use  by  cmn_err()  also  work
     with scsi_log().

CONTEXT
     The scsi_log() function may be called from user,  interrupt,
     or kernel context.
