Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions that have a name matched by regex: If Context is present, function takes context.Context argument. The context is used to pass through the Trace Context to log sinks that can make use of it. It is recommended to use the context variant of the functions over the non-context variants if a context is available to make sure the Trace Contexts are present in logs. If Depth is present, this function calls log from a different depth in the call stack. This enables a callee to emit logs that use the callsite information of its caller or any other callers in the stack. When depth == 0, the original callee's line information is emitted. When depth > 0, depth frames are skipped in the call stack and the final frame is treated like the original callee to Info. If 'f' is present, function formats according to a format specifier. This package also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and -vmodule=file=2 flags. Basic examples: See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples: Log output is buffered and written periodically using Flush. Programs should call Flush before exiting to guarantee all log output is written. By default, all log statements write to files in a temporary directory. This package provides several flags that modify this behavior. As a result, flag.Parse must be called before any logging is done. Other flags provide aids to debugging.
Readme
Leveled execution logs for Go.
This is an efficient pure Go implementation of leveled logs in the manner of the open source C++ package glog.
By binding methods to booleans it is possible to use the log package without paying the expense of evaluating the arguments to the log. Through the -vmodule flag, the package also provides fine-grained
control over logging at the file level.
The comment from glog.go introduces the ideas:
Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides the functions Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It also provides V-style loggingcontrolled by the -v and -vmodule=file=2 flags.
Basic examples:
glog.Info("Prepare to repel boarders")
glog.Fatalf("Initialization failed: %s", err)
See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples:
if glog.V(2) {
glog.Info("Starting transaction...")
}
glog.V(2).Infoln("Processed", nItems, "elements")
The repository contains an open source version of the log package used inside Google. The master copy of the source lives inside Google, not here. The code in this repo is for export only and is not itself under development. Feature requests will be ignored.
