qvm_outfrl()

Output a formatted string while using the message rate-limiting mechanism

Synopsis:

#include <qvm/outpipe.h>

void qvm_outfrl(const unsigned int attr,
                const unsigned int rate,
                uint64_t *const ptime,
                const char *const fmt,
                ...)

Arguments:

attr: The message-level attribute.
rate: The message output rate (in msg/minute).
ptime: User-provided state; this must point to be zero and have global storage.
fmt: A pointer to a printf-like formatted string.
...: Optional arguments for the string referenced by fmt.

Description:

This function outputs a string formatted in printf() style to the outpipes defined in the configuration. It is similar to qvm_outf() but it uses the message rate-limiting mechanism.

Note:

This function is deprecated and will be removed soon; use qvm_fatal() for QVM_OUTAL_FATAL or QVM_OUTAL_INTERNAL errors and qvm_logf_bounded() for other severity levels instead.
