glog
====
Leveled execution logs for Go.
This is an efficient pure Go implementation of leveled logs in the
manner of the open source C++ package
http://code.google.com/p/google-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 functions Info, Warning,
Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It
also provides V-style logging controlled 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 is originally based on open source version of the log package
used inside Google. The [Zenoss](https://github.com/zenoss/glog) team made some useful modifications,
and this fork adds some additional functionality, such as automatic compression of rotated logs.

Overview ¶
Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It also provides V-style logging controlled 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")
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.
-logtostderr=false
Logs are written to standard error instead of to files.
-alsologtostderr=false
Logs are written to standard error as well as to files.
-stderrthreshold=ERROR
Log events at or above this severity are logged to standard
error as well as to files.
-log_dir=""
Log files will be written to this directory instead of the
default temporary directory.
Other flags provide aids to debugging.
-log_backtrace_at=""
When set to a file and line number holding a logging statement,
such as
-log_backtrace_at=gopherflakes.go:234
a stack trace will be written to the Info log whenever execution
hits that statement. (Unlike with -vmodule, the ".go" must be
present.)
-v=0
Enable V-leveled logging at the specified level.
-vmodule=""
The syntax of the argument is a comma-separated list of pattern=N,
where pattern is a literal file name (minus the ".go" suffix) or
"glob" pattern and N is a V level. For instance,
-vmodule=gopher*=3
sets the V level to 3 in all Go files whose names begin "gopher".

Constants ¶
This section is empty.
Variables ¶
var MaxSize uint64 = 1024 * 1024 * 1800
MaxSize is the maximum size of a log file in bytes.
var Stats struct { Info, Warning, Error OutputStats }
Stats tracks the number of lines of output and number of bytes per severity level. Values must be read with atomic.LoadInt64.
Functions ¶
func Error ¶
func Error(args ...interface{})
Error logs to the ERROR, WARNING, and INFO logs. Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Print; a newline is appended if missing.
func Errorf ¶
func Errorf(format string, args ...interface{})
Errorf logs to the ERROR, WARNING, and INFO logs. Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Printf; a newline is appended if missing.
func Errorln ¶
func Errorln(args ...interface{})
Errorln logs to the ERROR, WARNING, and INFO logs. Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Println; a newline is appended if missing.
func Fatal ¶
func Fatal(args ...interface{})
Fatal logs to the FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, and INFO logs, including a stack trace of all running goroutines, then calls os.Exit(255). Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Print; a newline is appended if missing.
func Fatalf ¶
func Fatalf(format string, args ...interface{})
Fatalf logs to the FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, and INFO logs, including a stack trace of all running goroutines, then calls os.Exit(255). Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Printf; a newline is appended if missing.
func Fatalln ¶
func Fatalln(args ...interface{})
Fatalln logs to the FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, and INFO logs, including a stack trace of all running goroutines, then calls os.Exit(255). Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Println; a newline is appended if missing.
func Info ¶
func Info(args ...interface{})
Info logs to the INFO log. Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Print; a newline is appended if missing.
func Infof ¶
func Infof(format string, args ...interface{})
Infof logs to the INFO log. Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Printf; a newline is appended if missing.
func Infoln ¶
func Infoln(args ...interface{})
Infoln logs to the INFO log. Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Println; a newline is appended if missing.
func ReadUsername ¶
func ReadUsername()
ReadUsername reads the current username, used for setting log file names. This is done automatically at startup, but processes that start as root and drop privileges may want to call this after doing so.
func SetAlsoToStderr ¶
func SetAlsoToStderr(value bool)
Programatic Method to set logging to stderr and files
func SetStderrThreshold ¶
Programatic Method to set stderr threshold
func SetToStderr ¶
func SetToStderr(value bool)
Programatic Method to set logging to stderr instead of file
func SetTraceLocation ¶
func Warning ¶
func Warning(args ...interface{})
Warning logs to the WARNING and INFO logs. Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Print; a newline is appended if missing.
Types ¶
type Level ¶
type Level int32
Level specifies a level of verbosity for V logs. *Level implements flag.Value; the -v flag is of type Level and should be modified only through the flag.Value interface.
type OutputStats ¶
type OutputStats struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
OutputStats tracks the number of output lines and bytes written.
func (*OutputStats) Bytes ¶
func (s *OutputStats) Bytes() int64
Bytes returns the number of bytes written.
func (*OutputStats) Lines ¶
func (s *OutputStats) Lines() int64
Lines returns the number of lines written.
type Verbose ¶
type Verbose bool
Verbose is a boolean type that implements Infof (like Printf) etc. See the documentation of V for more information.
func V ¶
V reports whether verbosity at the call site is at least the requested level. The returned value is a boolean of type Verbose, which implements Info, Infoln and Infof. These methods will write to the Info log if called. Thus, one may write either
if glog.V(2) { glog.Info("log this") }
or
glog.V(2).Info("log this")
The second form is shorter but the first is cheaper if logging is off because it does not evaluate its arguments.
Whether an individual call to V generates a log record depends on the setting of the -v and --vmodule flags; both are off by default. If the level in the call to V is at least the value of -v, or of -vmodule for the source file containing the call, the V call will log.
func (Verbose) Info ¶
func (v Verbose) Info(args ...interface{})
Info is equivalent to the global Info function, guarded by the value of v. See the documentation of V for usage.
