char buf[LOG_BUF_SIZE];
va_start(ap, fmt);
vsnprintf(buf, LOG_BUF_SIZE, fmt, ap);
va_end(ap);
return __android_log_write(prio, tag, buf);
}这里可以看到格式化的输入被转化成buf的字符数组了，然后buf作为第三个参数调用__android_log_writeint __android_log_write(int prio, const char *tag, const char *msg)
{
struct iovec vec[3];
log_id_t log_id = LOG_ID_MAIN;
char tmp_tag[32];
if (!tag)
tag = "";
/* XXX: This needs to go! */
if (!strcmp(tag, "HTC_RIL") ||
!strncmp(tag, "RIL", 3) || /* Any log tag with "RIL" as the prefix */
!strncmp(tag, "IMS", 3) || /* Any log tag with "IMS" as the prefix */

log_id = LOG_ID_RADIO;
// Inform third party apps/ril/radio.. to use Rlog or RLOG
snprintf(tmp_tag, sizeof(tmp_tag), "use-Rlog/RLOG-%s", tag);
tag = tmp_tag;
}
vec[0].iov_base = (unsigned char *) &prio;
vec[0].iov_len = 1;
vec[1].iov_base = (void *) tag;
vec[1].iov_len = strlen(tag) + 1;
vec[2].iov_base = (void *) msg;
vec[2].iov_len = strlen(msg) + 1;
return write_to_log(log_id, vec, 3);
}可以看到priority，tag，msg三个参数分别填充到了iovec的struct中，static int (*write_to_log)(log_id_t, struct iovec *vec, size_t nr) = __write_to_log_init;可以发现write_to_log是一个函数指针，初始化为__write_to_log_init
static int __write_to_log_init(log_id_t log_id, struct iovec *vec, size_t nr)
{
#ifdef HAVE_PTHREADS
pthread_mutex_lock(&log_init_lock);
#endif
if (write_to_log == __write_to_log_init) {
log_fds[LOG_ID_MAIN] = log_open("/dev/"LOGGER_LOG_MAIN, O_WRONLY);
log_fds[LOG_ID_RADIO] = log_open("/dev/"LOGGER_LOG_RADIO, O_WRONLY);
log_fds[LOG_ID_EVENTS] = log_open("/dev/"LOGGER_LOG_EVENTS, O_WRONLY);
log_fds[LOG_ID_SYSTEM] = log_open("/dev/"LOGGER_LOG_SYSTEM, O_WRONLY);
write_to_log = __write_to_log_kernel;static int __write_to_log_kernel(log_id_t log_id, struct iovec *vec, size_t nr)
{
ssize_t ret;
int log_fd;
if (/*(int)log_id >= 0 &&*/ (int)log_id < (int)LOG_ID_MAX) {
log_fd = log_fds[(int)log_id];
} else {
return EBADF;
}
do {
ret = log_writev(log_fd, vec, nr);
} while (ret < 0 && errno == EINTR);
return ret;
}可以看到是调用了log_writev(log_fd, vec, nr)，这里的三个参数分别是：#if FAKE_LOG_DEVICE // This will be defined when building for the host. #define log_open(pathname, flags) fakeLogOpen(pathname, flags) #define log_writev(filedes, vector, count) fakeLogWritev(filedes, vector, count) #define log_close(filedes) fakeLogClose(filedes) #else #define log_open(pathname, flags) open(pathname, (flags) | O_CLOEXEC) #define log_writev(filedes, vector, count) writev(filedes, vector, count) #define log_close(filedes) close(filedes) #endif看到了吧，这里就是用writev把vec里面填充的内容按固定格式写到log_fd对应的路径了，至此ALOGD所要打印的msg被写入到了/dev/log/main等路径了
static void open_console()
{
int fd;
if ((fd = open(console_name, O_RDWR)) < 0) {
fd = open("/dev/null", O_RDWR);
}
ioctl(fd, TIOCSCTTY, 0);
dup2(fd, 0);
dup2(fd, 1);
dup2(fd, 2);
close(fd);
}if (!devices) {
devices = new log_device_t(strdup("/dev/"LOGGER_LOG_MAIN), false, 'm');
android::g_devCount = 1;
int accessmode =
(mode & O_RDONLY) ? R_OK : 0
| (mode & O_WRONLY) ? W_OK : 0;
// only add this if it's available
if (0 == access("/dev/"LOGGER_LOG_SYSTEM, accessmode)) {
devices->next = new log_device_t(strdup("/dev/"LOGGER_LOG_SYSTEM), false, 's');
android::g_devCount++;
}
}这里我们有发现logcat使用/dev/log/main和/dev/log/system两个路径作为device，这里g_devCount的值是2static void setupOutput()
{
if (g_outputFileName == NULL) {
g_outFD = STDOUT_FILENO;
} else {

g_outFD = openLogFile (g_outputFileName);

perror ("couldn't open output file");
exit(-1);
}
fstat(g_outFD, &statbuf);
g_outByteCount = statbuf.st_size;
}
}一般我们直接使用logcat的时候，g_outFD所对应的输出设备就是我们的终端，这也就是为什么logcat可以把log打印到终端static void readLogLines(log_device_t* devices)
