The log level + calculation starts with YLOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL and adds a bit + for each word it meets, unless the word starts with a '-', in which case it + clears the bit.

The + yaz_log_mask_str returns a log level that should be + passed to yaz_log_init_level for it to take effect. + + + + Each module should check what log bits it should be used, by calling + yaz_log_module_level with a suitable name for the + module. The name is cleared from a preceding path and an extension, if any, + so it is quite possible to use __FILE__ for it. If the + name has been passed to yaz_log_mask_str, the routine + returns a non-zero bitmask, which should then be used in consequent calls + to yaz_log. (It can also be tested, so as to avoid unnecessary calls to + yaz_log, in time-critical places, or when the log entry would take time + to construct.) + + + + Yaz uses the following dynamic log levels: + server, session, request, requestdetail for the server + functionality. + zoom for the zoom client api. + ztest for the simple test server. + malloc, nmem, odr, eventl for internal debugging of yaz itself. + Of course, any program using yaz is welcome to define as many new ones, as + it needs. + + + + By default the log is written to stderr, but this can be changed by a call + to yaz_log_init_file or + yaz_log_init.
