flexi_logger 0.24.2

An easy-to-configure and flexible logger that writes logs to stderr or stdout and/or to files. It allows custom logline formats, and it allows changing the log specification at runtime. It also allows defining additional log streams, e.g. for alert or security messages.
Documentation
//! ## Use `flexi_logger` functionality with [`tracing`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/).
//!
//! [`tracing`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/) is an alternative to
//! [`log`](https://docs.rs/log/latest/log/).
//! It has a similar base architecture, but is optimized for supporting async apps,
//! which adds complexity due to the need to manage contexts.
//! [`tracing-subscriber`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing-subscriber/)
//! facilitates contributing "backends", and is used in the example below to plug
//! `flexi_logger`-functionality into `tracing`.
//!
//! **The content of this module is an attempt to support such an integration.
//! Feedback is highly appreciated.**
//!
//! ### Example
//!
//! The following code example uses two features of `flexi_logger`:
//!
//! * a fully configurable `FileLogWriter` as trace writer
//! * and `flexi_logger`'s specfile handling to adapt `tracing` dynamically,
//!   while your program is running.
//!
//! Precondition: add these entries to your `Cargo.toml`:
//! ```toml
//! flexi_logger = {version = "0.23", features = ["trc"]}
//! tracing = "0.1"
//! ```
//!
//! In this example, the interaction with `tracing` components is completely hidden,
//! for convenience.
//! If you want to influence `tracing` further, what might often be the case,
//! you need to copy the code of method `setup_tracing` into your program and modify it.
//!
//! Unfortunately, especially due to the use of closures in `tracing-subscriber`'s API,
//! it is not easy to provide a convenient _and_ flexible API for plugging `flexi_logger`
//! functionality into `tracing`.
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! # #[cfg(feature = "specfile_without_notification")]
//! # {
//! # use std::error::Error;
//! use flexi_logger::{
//!     writers::FileLogWriter,
//!     Age, Cleanup, Criterion, FileSpec, LogSpecification, Naming, WriteMode,
//! };
//!
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
//!
//! // Drop the keep-alive-handles only in the shutdown of your program
//! let _keep_alive_handles = flexi_logger::trc::setup_tracing(
//!     LogSpecification::info(),
//!     Some(&PathBuf::from("trcspecfile.toml")),
//!     FileLogWriter::builder(FileSpec::default())
//!         .rotate(
//!             Criterion::Age(Age::Day),
//!             Naming::Timestamps,
//!             Cleanup::KeepLogFiles(7),
//!         )
//!         .write_mode(WriteMode::Async),
//!)?;
//!
//! tracing::debug!("now we start doing what we really wanted to do...")
//! # Ok(())}}
//! ```
//!
