NAME

       wLog - WinPR logging facility

DESCRIPTION

       wLog is a configurable and flexible logging system used throughout WinPR and FreeRDP.

       The  primary  concept  is  to  have  a  hierarchy  of  loggers  that  can be be configured
       independently.

Appenders

       WLog uses different appenders that define where the log output should be  written  to.  If
       the  application  doesn't  explicitly configure the appenders the below described variable
       WLOG_APPENDER can be used to choose one appender.

       The following kind of appenders are available:

       Binary Write the log data into a binary format file.

       Console
              The console appender writes to the console. Depending of the operating  system  the
              application  runs  on,  the  output  might  be  handled differently. For example on
              android log print would be used.

       File   The file appender writes the textual output to a file.

       Udp    This appender sends the logging messages to a pre-defined remote host via UDP.

              If no target is set the default one 127.0.0.1:20000 is used.  To  receive  the  log
              messages  one  can  use netcat. To receive the default target the following command
              can be used: nc -u 127.0.0.1 -p 20000 -l

       Syslog Use syslog for outputting the debug messages.

       Journald
              This appender outputs messages to journald.

Levels

       The WLog are complementary, the higher level always includes the lower  ones.   The  level
       list below is top down. Top the highest level.

       TRACE  print everything including packets dumps

       DEBUG  debug messages

       INFO   general information

       WARN   warnings

       ERROR  errors

       FATAL  fatal problems

       OFF    completely disable the wlog output

Formats

       The format a logger prints has the following possible options:

       lv     log level

       mn     module name

       fl     file name

       fn     function

       ln     line number

       pid    process id

       tid    thread id

       yr     year

       mo     month

       dw     day of week

       hr     hour

       mi     minute

       se     second

       ml     millisecond

       A maximum of 16 options can be used per format string.

       An   example   that   generally  sets  the  WLOG_PREFIX  for  xfreerdp  would  look  like:
       WLOG_PREFIX="pid=%pid:tid=%tid:fn=%fn -" xfreerdp /v:xxx

ENVIRONMENT

       WLOG_APPENDER
              The kind of appender, the accepted  values  are:  CONSOLE,  FILE,  BINARY,  SYSLOG,
              JOURNALD or UDP

       WLOG_PREFIX
              configure  the  prefix used for outputting the message (see Format for more details
              and examples)

       WLOG_LEVEL
              the level to output messages for

       WLOG_FILTER
              sets a filter for WLog messages. Only the filtered messages are printed. The format
              of the filter is a series of <logger name>:<level> separated by comas

              example: WLOG_FILTER=core.channel:DEBUG,dummy:TRACE will display debug messages for
              the core.channel logger and trace level for the dummy logger

       WLOG_FILEAPPENDER_OUTPUT_FILE_PATH
              When using the file appender it may contains the output log file's path

       WLOG_FILEAPPENDER_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME
              When using the file appender it may contains the output log file's name

       WLOG_JOURNALD_ID
              When using the systemd journal appender, this variable contains the  id  used  with
              the journal (by default the executable's name)

       WLOG_UDP_TARGET
              target to use for the UDP appender in the format host:port
