 * IMPORTANT NOTICE:
 *
 *   This file is part of Android's set of stable system headers
 *   exposed by the Android NDK (Native Development Kit) since
 *   platform release 1.5
 *
 *   Third-party source AND binary code relies on the definitions
 *   here to be FROZEN ON ALL UPCOMING PLATFORM RELEASES.
 *
 *   - DO NOT MODIFY ENUMS (EXCEPT IF YOU ADD NEW 32-BIT VALUES)

 *   - DO NOT CHANGE THE LAYOUT OR SIZE OF STRUCTURES

/*
 * Support routines to send messages to the Android in-kernel log buffer,
 * which can later be accessed through the 'logcat' utility.
 *
 * Each log message must have
 *   - a priority
 *   - a log tag
 *   - some text
 *
 * The tag normally corresponds to the component that emits the log message,
 * and should be reasonably small.
 *
 * Log message text may be truncated to less than an implementation-specific
 * limit (e.g. 1023 characters max).
 *
 * Note that a newline character ("\n") will be appended automatically to your
 * log message, if not already there. It is not possible to send several messages
 * and have them appear on a single line in logcat.
 *
 * PLEASE USE LOGS WITH MODERATION:
 *
 *  - Sending log messages eats CPU and slow down your application and the
 *    system.
 *
 *  - The circular log buffer is pretty small (<64KB), sending many messages
 *    might push off other important log messages from the rest of the system.
 *
 *  - In release builds, only send log messages to account for exceptional
 *    conditions.
 *
 * NOTE: These functions MUST be implemented by /system/lib/liblog.so
