slog

slog

This package is a very simplistic logger for Go-based server software. It logs informational and error messages with or without timestamps in an Apache-like style. There are no external dependencies - only Go internals are needed to build it.

Installing

Run this from a shell:

go get -u github.com/Urethramancer/slog

Example

package main

import (
	"io/ioutil"
	"os"
	"time"

	"github.com/Urethramancer/slog"
)

func main() {
	file, err := ioutil.TempFile(os.TempDir(), "slog")
	if err != nil {
		slog.Error("Error: %s", err.Error())
		return
	}

	slog.Msg("Logging errors to %s", file.Name())
	slog.SetErrorFile(file)
	slog.TError("This message goes to a file named %s.", file.Name())
	slog.TMsg("Logged an error to %s.", file.Name())
	slog.CloseErrorFile(file)
}
