linux C language realizes the writing log function

First on the program, the program has been tested to be able to write log requirements

      ptm->tm_mon + 1,
      ptm->tm_mday, 
      ptm->tm_hour, 
      ptm->tm_min, 
      ptm->tm_sec, 
      fmt);

  free(fmt);
  fsync(fileno(fp));
  fclose(fp);

  pthread_mutex_unlock(&fileMutex);
}

/*

}

The log format implemented by the program is:

Time + space + specific implementation (own debugging content)

What this program is worth learning:

Use of va_list structures Formatted output string for linux The use of the pthread_mutex lock during file manipulation, and its advantages linux DEBUG application, convenient debugging

linux How to view logs:

tail command can be used to achieve the log query, as well as other functions, do not understand the words, their own search data to solve.

Please check the data if you do not understand the above application.
