Abstract
A processing device and a machine-implemented method may be provided for sequentially aggregating, or writing, data to a log included in a data store. The log may store multiple log entries. Each of the log entries may include an entry metadata portion, describing a respective log entry, and an entry payload data portion. The entry metadata portion may include a log sequence number, corresponding to a log entry at a particular position in the log. A library of log-related processes may be provided, along with an application program interface to permit a calling application program to call any of the log related processes. The log-related processes may be called during a boot mode, a user mode, and a kernel mode.
