NAME

       dnsjit.core.log - Core logging facility

SYNOPSIS

   Usage to control global log level
         local log = require("dnsjit.core.log")
         log.enable("all")
         log.disable("debug")

   Usage to control module log level
         local example = require("example") -- Example as below
         example.log():enable("all")
         example.log():disable("debug")

   Usage to control object instance log level
         local example = require("example") -- Example as below
         local obj = example.new()
         obj:log():enable("all")
         obj:log():disable("debug")

   Usage in C module
       NOTE  naming  of variables and module only globals are required to exactly as described in
       order for the macros to work; self is the pointer to the object  instance,  self->_log  is
       the object instance logging configuration struct, _log is the module logging configuration
       struct.

       Include logging:
         #include "core/log.h"

       Add the logging struct to the module struct:
         typedef struct example {
             core_log_t _log;
             ...
         } example_t;

       Add a module logging configuration and a struct default:
         static core_log_t _log = LOG_T_INIT("example");
         static example_t _defaults = {
             LOG_T_INIT_OBJ("example"),
             ...
         };

       Use new/free and/or init/destroy functions (depends if you create the  object  in  Lua  or
       not):
         example_t* example_new() {
             example_t* self = calloc(1, sizeof(example_t));

             *self = _defaults;
             ldebug("new()");

             return self;
         }

         void example_free(example_t* self) {
             ldebug("free()");
             free(self);
         }

         int example_init(example_t* self) {
             *self = _defaults;

             ldebug("init()");

             return 0;
         }

         void example_destroy(example_t* self) {
             ldebug("destroy()");
             ...
         }

       In  the  Lua  part  of  the C module you need to create a function that returns either the
       object instance Log or the modules Log.

       Add C function to get module only Log:
         core_log_t* example_log() {
             return &_log;
         }

       For the structures metatable add the following function:
         local ffi = require("ffi")
         local C = ffi.C

         function Example:log()
             if self == nil then
                 return C.example_log()
             end
             return self._log
         end

   Usage in pure Lua module
         local log = require("dnsjit.core.log")
         local ffi = require("ffi")
         local C = ffi.C

         local Example = {}
         local module_log = log.new("example")

         function Example.new()
             local self = setmetatable({
                 _log = log.new("example", module_log),
             }, { __index = Example })

             self._log:debug("new()")

             return self
         end

         function Example:log()
             if self == nil then
                 return module_log
             end
             return self._log
         end

DESCRIPTION

       Core logging facility used by all modules.

   Log levels
       all    Keyword to enable/disable all changeable log levels.

       debug  Used for debug information.

       info   Used for informational processing messages.

       notice Used for messages of that may have impact on processing.

       warning
              Used for messages that has impact on processing.

       critical
              Used for messages that have severe impact on processing,  this  level  can  not  be
              disabled.

       fatal  Used  to  display a message before stopping all processing and existing, this level
              can not be disabled.

              settings.

              Generate a debug message.

       Log.info(self, ...)
