NAME

FBB::level - Manipulator setting the log-level of FBB::Log objects

SYNOPSIS

#include <bobcat/level>
Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

An FBB::level object is used to specify insertion `forces' of information that is inserted into FBB::Log objects. When inserted into Log objects it defines the `force' of subsequent insertions (or write calls) into those Log objects.

Conversely, Log objects may specify insertion `resistances' through their setLevel members. If the level's `force' is equal to or exceeds the Log object's `resistance' then the insertion is performed, otherwise the insertion is ignored. A single insertion statement may contain multiple level calls. If so, then each level call updates the `force' of insertions following the level call.

By default insertions into Log objects not preceded by level insertions are completed.

When a level object is inserted into another kind of std::ostream object the level object performs no actions.

EXAMPLE

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

#include <bobcat/log>
#include <bobcat/level>

using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;

int main()
{
//    Log &log = Log::initialize("&1"); // uses the static Log object
    Log log;                        // explicitly defining a Log object
    log.open("/tmp/out");           // or at once: Log log{ "/tmp/out" }

    log << "This message is written to cout" << nl <<
           setw(16) << ' ' << "occupying multiple lines\n";

    log.off();
    log << "This message is not shown\n";
    log << "This message is not shown\n";
    log << fnl;
    log << "This message is not shown\n";

    log.on(2);
    log << "This message is shown\n";

    log << level(0) << "not shown" << level(2) << "shown at level 2\n";
    log << level(3) << "at level(3)" << level(1) << "not shown" << fnl;

    log << "separate new line\n";

    log << level(2) << "in business again\n";
    log << "final line\n";
}
