Overview ¶
Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It 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="" When set to a file and line number 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 that statement. (Unlike with -vmodule, the ".go" must be present.) -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 "gopher".

Constants ¶
Variables ¶
var Stats struct { Debug, Info, Warning, Error OutputStats }
Stats tracks the number of lines of output and number of bytes per severity level. Values must be read with atomic.LoadInt64.
Functions ¶
func LogErrNotNil ¶
func LogErrNotNil(err error)
func NewVearchLog ¶
Types ¶
type Level ¶
type Level int32
Level specifies a level of verbosity for V logs. *Level implements flag.Value; the -v flag is of type Level and should be modified only through 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 ¶
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 least the value of -v, or of -vmodule for the source file containing the call, the V call will log.
