CI Coverage Status CPAN version

VERSION

Version 0.22

SYNOPSIS

use Log::Log4Cli;

$Log::Log4Cli::COLORS->{DEBUG} = 'green'; # redefine color (Term::ANSIColor notation)
$Log::Log4Cli::LEVEL = 4;                 # set loglevel
$Log::Log4Cli::POSITIONS = 1;             # force file:line marks (also enables if loglevel > 4)

log_fd(\*STDOUT);                         # print to STDOUT (STDERR by default)

log_error { "blah-blah, it's an error" };

$Log::Log4Cli::COLOR = 0;                 # now colors disabled

my $guts = { some => "value" };
log_trace {                               # block executed when appropriate level enabled only
    require Data::Dumper;
    return "Guts:\n" . Data::Dumper->Dump([$guts]);
};

die_info 'All done', 0;

DESCRIPTION

Lightweight, but sufficient and user friendly logging for command line tools with minimal impact on performance, optional configuration and no non-core dependencies.

EXPORT

All subroutines described below are exported by default.

SUBROUTINES

die_fatal, die_alert, die_info

die_fatal "Something terrible happened", 8;

Log message and exit with provided code. In eval blocks Carp::croak used instead of exit(). All arguments are optional. If second arg (exit code) omitted die_fatal, die_alert and die_info will exit with 127, 0 and 0 respectively.

log_fatal, log_error, log_alert, log_warn, log_info, log_debug, log_trace

log_error { "Something went wrong!" };

Execute passed code block and write it's return value if loglevel permit so. Set $Log::Log4Cli::COLOR to false value to disable colors.

log_fd

Get/set file descriptor for log messages. STDERR is used by default.

LOG LEVELS

Only builtin loglevels supported:

FATAL       -1      'bold red',
ERROR        0      'red',
ALERT        0      'bold yellow',
WARN         1      'yellow',
INFO         2      'cyan',
DEBUG        3      'blue',
TRACE        4      'magenta'

Colors may be changed, see "SYNOPSIS". Default loglevel is ERROR (0).
