Functions

func Init

func Init(lvl string) (log.Logger, error)

Init returns a logger configured with common settings like timestamping and source code locations. Both the stdlib logger and glog are reconfigured to push logs into this logger.

Init must be called as early as possible in main(), before any application-specific flag parsing or logging occurs, because it mutates the contents of the flag package as well as os.Stderr.
