DESCRIPTION

       The logging sub-system supports logging at different levels, and depending on the selected
       logging level, outputs the appropriate information.

       Logging by default is to stderr or stdout depending on the logging level of the log entry.
       It ia possible to send the logging information to an application logging call-back handler
       for processing by the application.

       The coap_log() function is used to log information at the appropriate level. The rest of
       the parameters follow the standard printf() function format.

       Logging levels (coap_log_t) are defined by (the same as for syslog()), which are
       numerically incrementing in value:

       LOG_EMERG
           Emergency level (0).

       LOG_ALERT
           Alert level (1).

       LOG_CRIT
           Critical level (2).

       LOG_ERR
           Error level (3).

       LOG_WARNING
           Warning level (the default) (4).

       LOG_NOTICE
           Notice level (5).

       LOG_INFO
           Information level (6).

       LOG_DEBUG
           Debug level (7).

       The coap_set_log_level() function is used to set the current logging level for output by
       any subsequent coap_log() calls. Output is only logged if the coap_log() level definition
       is smaller than or equal to the curent logging level.

       The coap_get_log_level() function is used to get the current logging level.

       The coap_dtls_set_log_level() function is used to set the logging level for output by the
       DTLS library for specific DTLS information. Usually, both coap_set_log_level() and
       coap_dtls_set_log_level() would be set to the same level value. If the logging level is
       set to greater than LOG_DEBUG, the underlying TLS library may get more verbose in its
       output.

       The coap_dtls_get_log_level() function is used to get the current logging level for the
       DTLS library.

       The coap_set_log_handler()* function can be used to define an alternative logging handler
       for processing the logging messages. The logging handler prototype is defined as:

           typedef void (*coap_log_handler_t) (coap_log_t level, const char *message);

       The coap_package_name() function returns the name of this library.

       The coap_package_version() function returns the version of this library.

       The coap_set_show_pdu_output() function defines whether the output from coap_show_pdu() is
       to be either sent to stdout/stderr, or output using coap_log(). use_fprintf is set to 1
       for stdout/stderr (the default), and use_fprintf is set to 0 for coap_log().

       The coap_show_pdu() function is used to decode the pdu, outputting as appropriate for
       logging level. Where the output goes is dependent on coap_set_show_pdu_output().

       The coap_endpoint_str() function returns a description string of the endpoint.

       The coap_session_str() function is used to get a string containing the information about
       the session.

RETURN VALUES

       The coap_package_name() and coap_package_version() return the appropriate zero-terminated
       character string.

       The coap_get_log_level() function returns the current logging level.

       The coap_dtls_get_log_level() function returns the current logging level for the DTLS
       library specifics.

       The coap_endpoint_str() function returns a description string of the endpoint.

       The coap_session_str() function returns a description string of the session.
