问题
I have a simple iPhone App that uses an NSLog and several printf statements. The app is a simple test app that I created to test serial communication on the iPhone (3GS). Obviously I can not test serial com with the iOS Simulator, so I have my device unplugged from the computer after I click Run from within Xcode. I installed syslogd from Cydia, and tail /var/log/syslog allows me to monitor certain log messages.
However when I open my app and it reaches the NSLog portion of the code I don't see the message appear in /var/log/syslog I also don't see the printf statements output in the syslog file for the app.
Is there a file that exists on the iPhone itself that contains the output from these statements, or do I need to specify my app to output to /var/log/syslog?
I am content with opening another file if it exists on the phone that contains the contents of the log messages. Basically I want to be able to see the contents of the log messages while I am sshed into the phone so I can see what is going on. And obviously using the Console output in Xcode is not an option because the phone isn't connected to the computer.
回答1:
Are you using tail /var/log/syslog? It only shows the last 15 lines of the log. Maybe try using tail -f /var/log/syslog. I just tested that and it logged my my simple NSLog(@"LOL"); just fine. I was able to see it via ssh and everything.

You write to syslog you should be calling the syslog function.
NSLog output can be seen as shown in this SO question.
printf will only go to stdout.
I would try not to use NSLog and stdout for logging in the same app - use NSLog for all logging there. Or with more work ue a logging framework like CocoaLumberjack that allows more flexibility including other loggers which could include syslog, thus having one logging function that you can redirect to different outputs at runtime.
