# Introduction
|
|
- *alog* or *a logger* is a lightweight, portable logger written in C.
|
|
- It is entirely unremarkable
|
|
- Usage of *alog* is extremely simple.
|
|
|
|
### What kind of things can I log to?
|
|
Anything that is a file descriptor and can be written to with write() and fsync(). This includes the following:
|
|
- pipes
|
|
- files
|
|
- stdout
|
|
- stderr
|
|
- sockets (untested)
|
|
|
|

- [See the API](alog.h)
|
|

# Variables
|
|
The following (shell) variables can be set to influence behavior at runtime:
|
|
|
|
- **ALOG_DEBUG**: Set this variable to compile with debug symbols
|
|
- **ALOG_HIJACK_PRINTF**: Set this variable to compile along with a printf implementation that leverages alog. Probably dont though.
