In C we log this way:
syslog( LOG_INFO, "proxying %s", url ); In Linux how can we check the log?

Linux logs will display with the command cd/var/log. Then, you can type ls to see the logs stored under this directory. One of the most important logs to view is the syslog, which logs everything but auth-related messages. Issue the command var/log/syslog to view everything under the syslog.
syslog() generates a log message, which will be distributed by syslogd. The file to configure syslogd is /etc/syslog. conf. This file will tell your where the messages are logged.
Syslog is a protocol and utility for capturing and logging system information. This system information can be stored locally, remotely, or both. syslog allows a server to forward log messages over the network to SL1. SL1 then uses these messages to monitor the health of the server and trigger events (if necessary).
Click on the Syslog tab to view system logs. You can search for a specific log by using ctrl+F control and then enter the keyword. When a new log event is generated, it is automatically added to the list of logs and you can see it in bolded form.
How about less /var/log/syslog?

On Fedora 19, it looks like the answer is /var/log/messages. Although check /etc/rsyslog.conf if it has been changed.
