Is there any global API to log information into a .log file.
Logging information in system.log is easy. But from what I'm seeing in netinfo-324.6 for instance, there seems to be no global API to create .log files. Am I missing something?

You should use the syslog API.

In a nutshell, you ask the system to log a message for a given priority (alert, warning, debug…) and type (auth, kernel, ftp, daemon…). According to the syslog configuration (/etc/syslog.conf), the messages are redirected to .log files in /var/log/.

See "man syslog", "man syslogd" and "man syslog.conf" for more details.
