log4go, forked from http://log4go.googlecode.com/ to apply fixes and patches, and to provide it with Git.

Installation

Run

goinstall github.com/Kissaki/log4go

Usage

Add the following import:

import l4g "github.com/Kissaki/log4go"

// Formatted logging can be done at any of the logging levels (Finest, Fine, Debug, Trace, Info, Warning, Error, Critical)
l4g.Trace("Received message: %s (%d)", msg, length)

// Warnings, Errors, and Criticals provide an os.Error that you can use for a return
return l4g.Error("Unable to open file: %s", err)

// The wrapper functions can also behave like Sprint if the first argument isn't a string
l4g.Debug(portno, clientid, client)

// Use a closure so that if DEBUG isn't logged, it doesn't take any time
l4g.Debug(func()string{ decodeRaw(raw) })

Log to a file:

l4g.AddFilter("file", l4g.NewFileLogWriter("myapp.log", false))

Using example/example.xml as a base you can use a configuration file to set up logging: l4g.LoadConfiguration("logging.xml")
