WSLogStreamToFile (C Function)

int WSLLogStreamToFile ( WSLINK l , const char * f )

turns on logging of the WSTP connection specified by l and logs the contents of the stream to the file specified in f.

Details

  • The user must have permission to write to the file specified in f.
  • You can send the log of the same stream to more than one file. Call WSLogStreamToFile() again with a different file name to log to another file.
  • Do not call WSLogStreamToFile() prior to calling WSActivate() or WSConnect().
  • WSLogStreamToFile() returns 0 on failure and a nonzero value on success.
  • WSLogStreamToFile() is declared in the WSTP header file wstp.h.
