ls_errlog

Logs error messages.

ls_errlog is a LSLIB library routine for logging LSF error messages. The global variable lserrno, maintained by LSLIB, indicates the error number of the most recent LSLIB call that caused an error.

ls_errlog is very similar to the fprintf() function, except that it prints out the time before it prints other information. You can specify an additional conversion char 'm' in the format to represent the error message that corresponds to lserrno. This function is typically used by load sharing applications running in the background (such as daemons) to log error messages to a log file.

The vector of error message strings, ls_errmsg[ ], is provided for the benefit of application programs. You can use lserrno as an index into this table to obtain the corresponding LSF error message. The global variable ls_nerr indicates the size of the table.
