39 @brief
40 Logging level enumerators and library logging control.
41
42 The logging API offers logging level enumerators (#bt_logging_level)
43 as well as functions to control libbabeltrace2's internal logging.
44
45 @note
46 This API does \em not offer macros and functions to write logging
47 statements: as of \bt_name_version_min_maj, the actual mechanism to
48 log is implementation-defined for each user \bt_plugin.
49
50 libbabeltrace2 contains many hundreds of logging statements to help you
51 follow and debug your plugin or program.
52
53 The library's initial logging level is controlled by the
54 \c LIBBABELTRACE2_INIT_LOG_LEVEL environment variable. If this
55 environment variable is not set at library load time, the library's
56 initial logging level is #BT_LOGGING_LEVEL_NONE. See
57 \ref api-fund-logging to learn more.
58
59 Set libbabeltrace2's current logging level with
60 bt_logging_set_global_level().
61
62 \anchor api-logging-extra-lib bt_logging_set_global_level() only
63 controls <strong>libbabeltrace2</strong>'s logging level; it does \em
64 not control the logging level of:
65
66 - Individual \bt_p_comp: bt_graph_add_source_component(),
67 bt_graph_add_source_component_with_initialize_method_data(),
68 bt_graph_add_filter_component(),
69 bt_graph_add_filter_component_with_initialize_method_data(),
70 bt_graph_add_sink_component(), and
71 bt_graph_add_sink_component_with_initialize_method_data() control
72 this.
73
74 - A \ref api-qexec "query operation":
75 bt_query_executor_set_logging_level() controls this.
76
77 - The bt_get_greatest_operative_mip_version() operation: its
78 \bt_p{logging_level} parameter controls this.
79
80 As of \bt_name_version_min_maj, there's no module-specific logging level
81 control: bt_logging_set_global_level() sets the logging level of all the
82 library's modules.
83
84 libbabeltrace2 writes its logging statements to the standard error
85 stream. A logging line looks like this:
86
87 @code{.unparsed}
88 05-11 00:58:03.691 23402 23402 D VALUES bt_value_destroy@values.c:498 Destroying value: addr=0xb9c3eb0
89 @endcode
90
91 See \ref api-fund-logging to learn more about the logging statement
92 line's format.
93
94 You can set a \em minimal logging level at the \bt_name project's build
95 time (see \ref api-fund-logging to learn how). The logging statements
96 with a level that's less severe than the minimal logging level are \em
97 not built. For example, if the minimal logging level is
98 #BT_LOGGING_LEVEL_INFO, the #BT_LOGGING_LEVEL_TRACE and
99 #BT_LOGGING_LEVEL_DEBUG logging statements are not built. Use
100 bt_logging_get_minimal_level() to get the library's minimal logging
101 level.
