ABSTRACT
- The L2 library is [...]
+ OSSP L2 is a C library providing a very flexible and sophisticated
+ Unix logging facility. It is based on the model of arbitrary number
+ of channels, stacked together in a top-down data flow tree structure
+ with filtering channels in internal nodes and output channels on the
+ leave nodes.
+
+ Channel trees can be either constructed manually through lower-level
+ API functions or all at once with a single API function controlled by
+ a compact syntactical description of the channel tree. For generating
+ log messages a printf-style formatting engine is provided which can be
+ extended through callback functions. The data flow inside the channel
+ tree is controlled by (eight fixed and nine custom) logging message
+ severity levels which are assigned to each individual channel.
+
+ Channels are implemented by channel handlers which can be even
+ customer supplied for creating own channels which seamlessly integrate
+ into the framework. For convinience reasons, L2 already ships with
+ pre-implemented filtering (noop, filter, prefix, buffer) and output
+ (null, fd, file, pipe, socket, syslog, smtp) channels which already
+ cover mostly all use cases of logging.
