How to save dmesg printing information to files in the background

Dmesg debugging I information is often used as an important information for determining abnormal system exit. However, it is difficult to save the information when a system exits or restarts abnormally, so I had the idea of saving the dmesg debugging information to the file:

# Include <stdio. h> # include <unistd. h> # include <stdlib. h> # include <string. h> # include <time. h> // # include <Linux/Autoconf. h> // kernel-compiled configuration information # include <sys/klog. h> # include <sys/STAT. h> // # DEFINE _ log_buf_len (1 <config_log_buf_shift) // in kernel 2.6.28, the default value is 1 <17. This is the real dmesg buffer size. # DEFINE _ log_buf_len (1 <17) // in kernel 2.6.28, the default value is 1 <17. This is the size of the real dmesg buffer. # DEFINE _ log_path "/home/default/dmesg. log "# define log_sleep (x) (sleep (x) # DEFINE _ log_size 10485760 // delete the file when it is greater than 10 m # define buf_size 256 long check_log_size (void) {struct stat f_stat; If (STAT (_ log_path, & f_stat) =-1) {return-1;} return (long) f_stat.st_size;} int main (INT argc, char * argv []) {char Buf [_ log_buf_len] = {0,}; char tmpbuf [buf_size] = {0,}; int ret = 0; file * fp = NULL; struct TM * PTR; time_t lt ;/ /Daemon (0, 0); // enter the daemon mode while (1) {log_sleep (120); // sleep 10 s fp = fopen (_ log_path, "A + "); // append open if (null = FP) {printf ("creat file faild! \ N "); continue;} ret = klogctl (4, Buf ,__ log_buf_len); // obtain dmesg information. This function requires the superuser permission to run if (0> = RET) {perror ("klogctl"); fclose (FP); continue;} lT = Time (null); // obtain the time PTR = (struct TM *) localtime (<); sprintf (tmpbuf, "[log time:] % s", asctime (PTR); // record the time printf ("tmpbuf = % s \ n", tmpbuf ); fwrite (tmpbuf, strlen (tmpbuf), 1, FP); fwrite (BUF, strlen (BUF), 1, FP); fflush (FP); fclose (FP ); if (_ log_size <check_log_size () {unlink (_ log_path); // Delete this file} memset (tmpbuf, 0, buf_size); memset (BUF, 0, __log_buf_len);} return 0 ;}

The program is executed in the background, and the dmesg information is read every 120 seconds.
