       void TSReleaseAssert(expression)

DESCRIPTION

       TSError()  is  similar to printf() except that instead of writing the output to the C standard output, it
       writes output to the Traffic Server error log.

       TSDebug() is the same as TSError() except that it only logs the debug message if the given debug  tag  is
       enabled. It writes output to the Traffic Server debug log.

       TSIsDebugTagSet() returns non-zero if the given debug tag is enabled.

       In  debug  mode,  TSAssert  Traffic  Server to prints the file name, line number and expression, and then
       aborts. In release mode, the expression is not removed but the effects of printing an error  message  and
       aborting are. TSReleaseAssert prints an error message and aborts in both release and debug mode.

       TSDebugSpecific()  emits  a  debug  line  even  if  the debug tag is turned off, as long as debug flag is
       enabled.   This   can   be   used   in   conjunction   with   TSHttpTxnDebugSet(),   TSHttpSsnDebugSet(),
       TSHttpTxnDebugGet()  and  TSHttpSsnDebugGet()  to  enable  debugging  on specific session and transaction
       objects.

       TSHttpServerStateNameLookup(), TSHttpHookNameLookup() and TSHttpEventNameLookup() converts the respective
       internal state to a string representation. This can be useful in debugging (TSDebug()), logging and other
       types notifications.

EXAMPLES

       This example uses TSDebugSpecific() to log a message when a specific debugging flag is enabled:

          #include <ts/ts.h>

          // Produce information about a hook receiving an event
          TSDebug(PLUGIN_NAME, "Entering hook=%s, event=%s",
                  TSHttpHookNameLookup(hook), TSHttpEventNameLookup(event));

          // Emit debug message if "tag" is enabled or the txn debug
          // flag is set.
          TSDebugSpecifc(TSHttpTxnDebugGet(txn), "tag" ,
                  "Hello World from transaction %p", txn);
