wine users - Jun 2010 - Problem in "porting" a function on windows to linux?

Hi all!

I use ubuntu 9.04;
I have a function called "isLogEnabled" in my project on windows, I
wanna port it to linux.
I know that I should have a "config.h" file in linux to get log from a
specific Shared object and ..., but because I'm new to linux,
I don't know how this should be done, this is my function:


Code:
//This function return True if log policy is set in registry and False otherwise
   int isLogEnabled()
   {
     HKEY hKey;
     LONG lRes;
     DWORD dwType, dwSize = 0;
     int retVal = 0;
 
     if((RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\MyCorp", 0,
KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hKey)) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
     {
        lRes = RegQueryValueEx(hKey, "SpecialMode", 0, &dwType,
NULL, &dwSize );
 
        if(lRes == ERROR_SUCCESS)
           retVal = 1;
        RegCloseKey(hKey);
     }
     return retVal;
  }



Since I think we don't have registry concept in linux and this function uses
registry APIs, I'm confused to change it to be compatible
with linux;

Could you help me with this please?!

TIA.

Are you intending to use Linux system logs?

If so, you need to modify your logging interface to use the openlog(),
syslog() and closelog() functions, which are defined in syslog.h - see
"man 3 syslog" for details and, since the logging system is always
available, your isLogEnabled() function would become:

Code:

//This function return True if log policy is set in registry and False otherwise
int isLogEnabled()   
{
   return 1;
}
