# clang_log





I really like the logging format of `clang` (pronounced klang, not C-lang), so I recreated it as an implementation of the `log` crate. It's licensed under the MIT license, and you can use it as you like. Use it, fork it, steal the code and sell it, I don't really care. If you find bugs, first of all, good job, because how can a logging implementation have bugs, and second of all, you can submit them to the issue tracker, or fix them and submit a PR. Additionally, if you want to improve `clang_log`, go ahead and waste five minuites writing a PR to change something.
## How to use
To use `clang_log`, first include it, and `log` in `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
log = "0.4.27"
clang_log = "2.1.2"
```
`clang_log` also has a feature flag; `color`. By removing this feature flag, you can remove color from the output.
```toml
[dependencies]
log = "0.4.27"
clang_log = { version = "2.1.2", default-features = false }
```
After adding `clang_log` to `Cargo.toml`, initialize it at the start of the program:
```rust
use log::Level;
fn main() {
clang_log::init(Level::Trace, "clang")
}
```
You can also specify a minimum level to start outputting to stderr:
```rust
use log::Level;
fn main() {
clang_log::init_error(Level::Trace, Level::Warn, "clang")
}
```
To use it, just use the macros provided by `log`
```rust
use log::*;
error!("Could not find files!");
```
