57The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
58but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
59extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
60targets, or being able to log into a database.

315=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 342=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
316 343
317None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 344This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
345context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
346own logging context.
318 347
319#TODO: wahst a context 348A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
320#TODO 349propagating the message.
350
351For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
352levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
353by this context (masked).
354
355For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
356timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
357it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
358actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
359whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
360
361For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<parent
362contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
363masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all parent
364contexts.
365
366Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
367context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
368message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
369
370=head2 DEFAULTS
371
372By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
373disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
374
375Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
376
377They have exactly one parent - the context of the "parent" package. The
378parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
379component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
380and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<AnyEvent::Log::Top> which is the
381exception of the rule - just like the parent of any package name in
382Perl is C<main>, the default parent of any top-level package context is
383C<AnyEvent::Log::Top>.
384
385Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this parent
386context can of course be removed.
387
388All other (anonymous) contexts have no parents and an empty title by
389default.
390
391When the module is loaded it creates the default context called
392C<AnyEvent::Log::Default> (also stored in C<$AnyEvent::Log::Default>),
393which simply logs everything to STDERR and doesn't propagate anything
394anywhere by default. The purpose of the default context is to provide
395a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
396additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
397
398It then creates the root context called C<AnyEvent::Log::Root> (also
399stored in C<$AnyEvent::Log::Root>) and sets its log level set to all
400levels up to the one specified by C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It
401then attached the default logging context to it. The purpose of the root
402context is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
403
404Finally it creates the top-level package context called
405C<AnyEvent::Log::Top> (also stored in, you might have guessed,
406C<$AnyEvent::Log::Top>) and attached the root context but otherwise leaves
407it at default config. It's purpose is simply to collect all log messages
408system-wide.
409
410These three special contexts can also be referred to by the
411package/context names C<AE::Log::Default>, C<AE::Log::Root> and
412C<AE::Log::Top>.
413
414The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up
415to the root context where log messages with lower priority then
416C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered away and then to the
417AnyEvent::Log::Default context to be logged to STDERR.
418
419Splitting the top level context into three contexts makes it easy to set
420a global logging level (by modifying the root context), but still allow
421other contexts to log, for example, their debug and trace messages to the
422default target despite the global logging level, or to attach additional
423log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging level.
424
425It also makes it easy to replace the default STDERR-logger by something
426that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets.

574C<all> which expands to all logging levels.

697
698The following methods configure how the logging context actually does
699the logging (which consists of formatting the message and printing it or
700whatever it wants to do with it) and also allows you to log messages
701directly to a context, without going via your package context.

486 722
723You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
724and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
725being logged" and might not be very efficient.
726
727Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
728"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
729your program.

801=head1 EXAMPLES
802
803This section shows some common configurations.
804
805=over 4
806
807=item Setting the global logging level.
808
809Either put PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=<number> into your environment before
810running your program, or modify the log level of the root context:
811
812 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
813
814 $AnyEvent::Log::Root->level ("warn");
815
816=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
817
818This is affected by the global logging level.
819
820 open my $fh, ">>", $path
821 or die "$path: $!";
822
823 $AnyEvent::Log::Default->log_cb (sub {
824 syswrite $fh, shift;
825 0
826 });
827
828=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
829
830This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
831it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
832filtering.
833
834 open my $fh, ">>", $path
835 or die "$path: $!";
836
837 $AnyEvent::Log::Default->attach (new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
838 log_cb => sub { syswrite $fh, shift; 0 });
839
840This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
841attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
842the global filtering.
843
844 $AnyEvent::Log::Top->attach (new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
845 log_cb => sub { syswrite $fh, shift; 0 });
846
847In both cases, messages are still written to STDOUT.
848
849=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
850
851Attach the CyAnyEvent::Log::Default> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
852context and increase the C<AnyEvent::Debug> logging level - this simply
853circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
854
855 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
856 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::Default);
857 $debug->levels ("trace"); # not "level"!
