46The functions in this module control the Babeltrace library's logging
47behaviour.
48
49You can set the current global log level of the library with
50bt_logging_set_global_level(). Note that, if the level you set is below
51the minimal logging level (configured at build time, which you can get
52with bt_logging_get_minimal_level()), the logging statement between the
53current global log level and the minimal log level are not executed.
