Re: [evlog-dev] binary data with evlsend?

Hi Jim,

Well, yes i'd like to see it implemented for
two reasons:

1) the man page says it can be done
2) we'd like to post some binary events
   from shell scripts

Along the same lines.... i setup a template:

facility "moo";
event_type 0x9998;
attributes {
  int    data1;
  int    data2;
}
format string "(%data1%.......%data2%)"
END

and then did this from code:

evl_log_write(facility, event_type, severity, 0,
      "int", "100", "int", "200", "endofdata");

In my evlog plugin, i do something similar to:

sprintf(format, "(%%data1%%.......%%data2%%)");
status = evl_format_evrec_sprintf(entry, varbuf, 
format, recbuf, sizeof(recbuf), (size_t *)&reqlen);

two things:

1) how can i get around having to know the format
   string?  that complicates things!
2) the value stored in recbuf is never right. It
   is usually "(0.......0)"  Am i missing something?

Thanks!
