		85
		86	=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
		87
		88	Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
		89	(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
		90	priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
		91	numerical value".
		92
		93	Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
		94
		95	LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
		96	1 fatal emerg exit system unusable, aborts program!
		97	2 alert failure in primary system
		98	3 critical crit failure in backup system
		99	4 error err die non-urgent program errors, a bug
		100	5 warn warning possible problem, not necessarily error
		101	6 note notice unusual conditions
		102	7 info normal messages, no action required
		103	8 debug debugging messages for development
		104	9 trace copious tracing output
		105
		106	As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
		107	is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
		108	and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting (only!) that you log C<die>
		109	messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
		110	rationale on how to chose a logging level.
		111
		112	As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of the
		113	program (admins, staff), and are the only ones logged to STDERR by
		114	default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
		115	levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
		116
		117	You can normally only log a message once at highest priority level (C<1>,
		118	C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the program - so
		119	use it sparingly :)
		120
		121	For example, a program that finds an unknown switch on the commandline
		122	might well use a fatal logging level to tell users about it - the "system"
		123	in this case would be the program, or module.
		124
		125	Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
		126	or C<all> - these are only valid for the methods that documented them.

		1144	=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
		1145
		1146	Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
		1147	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
		1148
		1149	The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
		1150	by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
		1151	context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
		1152	configuration directives, here are some examples:
		1153
		1154	# set default logging level
		1155	filter=warn
		1156
		1157	# log to file instead of to stderr
		1158	log=file=/tmp/mylog
		1159
		1160	# log to file in addition to stderr
		1161	log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
		1162
		1163	# enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
		1164	filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
		1165
		1166	# log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
		1167	AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
		1168
		1169	A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
		1170
		1171	=over 4
		1172
		1173	=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
		1174
		1175	Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
		1176	C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
		1177
		1178	=item C<%name>
		1179
		1180	Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
		1181	name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
		1182	default they have no attached slaves.
		1183
		1184	=item a perl package name
		1185
		1186	Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
		1187	Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
		1188	context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
		1189	C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
		1190
		1191	=back
		1192
		1193	The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
		1194
		1195	=over 4
		1196
		1197	=item C<stderr>
		1198
		1199	Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
		1200	logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
		1201
		1202	=item C<file=>I<path>
		1203
		1204	Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
		1205	C<log_to_file>.
		1206
		1207	=item C<path=>I<path>
		1208
		1209	Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
		1210	C<log_to_path>.
		1211
		1212	=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
		1213
		1214	Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
		1215	evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
		1216
		1217	log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
		1218
		1219	=item C<nolog>
		1220
		1221	Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
		1222	default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
		1223
		1224	=item C<cap=>I<level>
		1225
		1226	Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
		1227	reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
		1228	default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
		1229
		1230	=item C<0> or C<off>
		1231
		1232	Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
		1233	filtered out.
		1234
		1235	=item C<all>
		1236
		1237	Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
		1238	off (the default).
		1239
		1240	=item C<only>
		1241
		1242	Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
		1243	level specifications to enable the specified level only.
		1244
		1245	Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
		1246
		1247	context=only,debug
		1248
		1249	=item C<except>
		1250
		1251	Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
		1252	level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
		1253
		1254	Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
		1255	nonsensical).
		1256
		1257	filter=exept,fatal,trace
		1258
		1259	=item C<level>
		1260
		1261	Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
		1262	level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
		1263	message". This is the default.
		1264
		1265	Example: log anything at or above warn level.
		1266
		1267	filter=warn
		1268
		1269	# or, more verbose
		1270	filter=only,level,warn
		1271
		1272	=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
		1273
		1274	A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
		1275	to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
		1276	specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
		1277
		1278	=item C<+>I<context>
		1279
		1280	Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
		1281
		1282	=item C<+>
		1283
		1284	A lone C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
		1285	context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
		1286	but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
		1287
		1288	Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
		1289	default log collector.
		1290
		1291	My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
		1292
		1293	=back
		1294
		1295	Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
		1296	usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
		1297	spaces in the filename, you would do this:
		1298
		1299	PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
		1300
		1301	Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
		1302	specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
		1303
		1304	PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
		1305	filter=warn
		1306	AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
		1307	%trace=only,trace,+log
		1308	" myprog
		1309
		1310	Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
		1311	use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
		1312	module name, an empty spec with two separators:
		1313
		1314	PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
		1315
