Native API
Log messages may be generated programatically by using Paul Bunyan’s various interfaces. Paul Bunyan supports a C/C++ API as well as a COM interface and command line logging utility. The COM interface supports logging from Visual Basic, ASP code, Delphi, InstallShield, and virtually any other language or environment. The command line interface supports logging from the command line, batch (.bat) files, shell scripts, makefiles, and similar environments.
API Extensions
Paul Bunyan supports numerous specific environments through API Extensions. API Extension modules are freely downloadable from the web site and come with complete usage documentation and sample code. Current extensions as of this release include SQL Server, Sybase, InstallShield, and a standard DLL interface callable from many other environments or as an alternative to the native COM interface.
