This category includes the following APIs:

Error Logging - NetErrorLogClear
Error Logging - NetErrorLogRead
Error Logging - NetErrorLogWrite

Error logging APIs control the error log file. The APIs are used with the ERRLOG.H and NETCONS.H header files.

Each time an error occurs during a network operation, an error log entry can be generated by NetErrorLogWrite to record the error information. The other two functions enable opening (NetErrorLogRead) and clearing (NetErrorLogClear) of the error log file, which stores the entries.

The error log file contains information about the following types of errors:

• LAN Server software internal errors 
  OS/2 internal errors
  
  Network service errors

  Error logs are stored in a combination of binary and ASCII characters. The default error log file name is \IBMLAN\LOGS\NET.ERR. All error logging functions perform their operations on this file.
