80at C<error> priority. 118messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
119rationale on how to chose a logging level.
81 120
121As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of the
122program (admins, staff), and are the only ones logged to STDERR by
123default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
124levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
125
82You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level 126You can normally only log a message once at highest priority level (C<1>,
83(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the 127C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the program - so
84program - so use it sparingly :) 128use it sparingly :)
129
130For example, a program that finds an unknown switch on the commandline
131might well use a fatal logging level to tell users about it - the "system"
132in this case would be the program, or module.
85 133
86Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none> 134Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>

453=item AnyEvent::Log::exact_time $on
454
455By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
456eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
457true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
458time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
459that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
460
461This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
462
463Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before L<AnyEvent> has been
464initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
465C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
466available.
467
468=item AnyEvent::Log::format_time $timestamp
469
470Formats a timestamp as returned by C<< AnyEvent->now >> or C<<
471AnyEvent->time >> or many other functions in the same way as
472C<AnyEvent::Log> does.
473
474In your main program (as opposed to in your module) you can override
475the default timestamp display format by loading this module and then
476redefining this function.
477
478Most commonly, this function can be used in formatting callbacks.
479
480=item AnyEvent::Log::default_format $time, $ctx, $level, $msg
481
482Format a log message using the given timestamp, logging context, log level
483and log message.
484
485This is the formatting function used to format messages when no custom
486function is provided.
487
488In your main program (as opposed to in your module) you can override the
489default message format by loading this module and then redefining this
490function.
491
492=item AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit()
493
494This is the function that is called after logging a C<fatal> log
495message. It must not return.
496
497The default implementation simply calls C<exit 1>.
498
499In your main program (as opposed to in your module) you can override
500the fatal exit function by loading this module and then redefining this
501function. Make sure you don't return.

781=item $ctx->cap ($level)
782
783Caps the maximum priority to the given level, for all messages logged
784to, or passing through, this context. That is, while this doesn't affect
785whether a message is logged or passed on, the maximum priority of messages
786will be limited to the specified level - messages with a higher priority
787will be set to the specified priority.
788
789Another way to view this is that C<< ->level >> filters out messages with
790a too low priority, while C<< ->cap >> modifies messages with a too high
791priority.
792
793This is useful when different log targets have different interpretations
794of priority. For example, for a specific command line program, a wrong
795command line switch might well result in a C<fatal> log message, while the
796same message, logged to syslog, is likely I<not> fatal to the system or
797syslog facility as a whole, but more likely a mere C<error>.
798
799This can be modeled by having a stderr logger that logs messages "as-is"
800and a syslog logger that logs messages with a level cap of, say, C<error>,
801or, for truly system-critical components, actually C<critical>.

1230A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1231
1232=over 4
1233
1234=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1235
1236Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1237C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1238
1239=item C<%name>
1240
1241Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1242name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1243default they have no attached slaves.
1244
1245This makes it possible to create new log contexts that can be refered to
1246multiple times by name within the same log specification.
1247
1248=item a perl package name
1249
1250Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1251Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1252context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1253C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1254
1255=back
1256
1257The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1258
1259=over 4
1260
1261=item C<stderr>
1262
1263Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1264logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1265
1266=item C<file=>I<path>
1267
1268Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1269C<log_to_file>.
1270
1271=item C<path=>I<path>
1272
1273Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1274C<log_to_path>.
1275
1276=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1277
1278Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1279evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1280
1281 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1282
1283=item C<nolog>
1284
1285Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1286default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1287
1288=item C<cap=>I<level>
1289
1290Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
1291reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
1292default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
1293
1294=item C<0> or C<off>
1295
1296Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1297filtered out.
1298
1299=item C<all>
1300
1301Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1302off (the default).
1303
1304=item C<only>
1305
1306Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1307level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1308
1309Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1310
1311 context=only,debug
1312
1313=item C<except>
1314
1315Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1316level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1317
1318Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1319nonsensical).
1320
1321 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1322
1323=item C<level>
1324
1325Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1326level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1327message". This is the default.
1328
1329Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1330
1331 filter=warn
1332
1333 # or, more verbose
1334 filter=only,level,warn
1335
1336=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1337
1338A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1339to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1340specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1341
1342=item C<+>I<context>
1343
1344Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1345
1346=item C<+>
1347
1348A lone C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1349context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1350but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1351
1352Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1353default log collector.
1354
1355 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1356
1357=back
1358
1359Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1360usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1361spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1362
1363 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1364
1365Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1366specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1367
1368 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1369 filter=warn
1370 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1371 %trace=only,trace,+log
1372 " myprog
1373
1374Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1375use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1376module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1377
1378 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
