Logger Manager
Grail provides its own logger manager which can be integrated into a game engine of your choice. Default logger is called "grail" and it shows messages regarding the core library (for example: warning when a user passes improper config data). Default sink of "grail" logger is synchronized and writes info to standard output.
Logger can show messages tagged with one of the following severities:
-
TRACE
-
DEBUG
-
INFO
-
WARNING
-
ERROR
-
CRITICAL - something is so wrong that after showing the message, the program should crash
Using the logger interface differs depending on the programming language you use.
Sinks
Sink is a form of output to which logger writes. The user decides whether it is synchronized to not cause races while running on multiple threads. While implementing custom sinks, user should override Log method.
