glog

PkgGoDev

Leveled execution logs for Go.

This is an efficient pure Go implementation of leveled logs in the manner of the open source C++ package 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 the functions Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It also provides V-style loggingcontrolled 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 contains an open source version of the log package used inside Google. The master copy of the source lives inside Google, not here. The code in this repo is for export only and is not itself under development. Feature requests will be ignored.

Overview

Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions that have a name matched by regex: 

(Info|Warning|Error|Fatal)(Context)?(Depth)?(f)?

If Context is present, function takes context.Context argument. The context is used to pass through the Trace Context to log sinks that can make use of it. It is recommended to use the context variant of the functions over the non-context variants if a context is available to make sure the Trace Contexts are present in logs.

If Depth is present, this function calls log from a different depth in the call stack. This enables a callee to emit logs that use the callsite information of its caller or any other callers in the stack. When depth == 0, the original callee's line information is emitted. When depth > 0, depth frames are skipped in the call stack and the final frame is treated like the original callee to Info.

If 'f' is present, function formats according to a format specifier.

This package 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. As a result, flag.Parse must be called before any logging is done. 

-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=""
	A comma-separated list of file and line numbers 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 one of these statements. (Unlike with -vmodule, the ".go"
	must bepresent.)
-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 with "gopher",
	and
		-vmodule=/path/to/glog/glog_test=1
	sets the V level to 1 in the Go file /path/to/glog/glog_test.go.
	If a glob pattern contains a slash, it is matched against the full path,
	and the file name. Otherwise, the pattern is
	matched only against the file's basename.  When both -vmodule and -v
	are specified, the -vmodule values take precedence for the specified
	modules.

Types

type Level 

type Level int32

Level specifies a level of verbosity for V logs. The -v flag is of type Level and should be modified only through the flag.Value interface.

func (*Level) Get 

func (l *Level) Get() any

Get is part of the flag.Value interface.

func (*Level) Set 

func (l *Level) Set(value string) error

Set is part of the flag.Value interface.

func (*Level) String 

func (l *Level) String() string

String is part of 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 

func V(level Level) Verbose

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 most the value of -v, or of -vmodule for the source file containing the call, the V call will log.

func VDepth added in v1.1.0 

func VDepth(depth int, level Level) Verbose
