//! A simple logger that can be configured via environment variables, for use
//! with the logging facade exposed by the [`log` crate][log-crate-url].
//!
//! Despite having "env" in its name, **`env_logger`** can also be configured by
//! other means besides environment variables. See [the examples][gh-repo-examples]
//! in the source repository for more approaches.
//!
//! By default, `env_logger` writes logs to `stderr`, but can be configured to
//! instead write them to `stdout`.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```
//! use log::{debug, error, log_enabled, info, Level};
//!
//! env_logger::init();
//!
//! debug!("this is a debug {}", "message");
//! error!("this is printed by default");
//!
//! if log_enabled!(Level::Info) {
//!     let x = 3 * 4; // expensive computation
//!     info!("the answer was: {}", x);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Assumes the binary is `main`:
//!
//! ```{.bash}
//! $ RUST_LOG=error ./main
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z ERROR main] this is printed by default
//! ```
//!
//! ```{.bash}
//! $ RUST_LOG=info ./main
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z ERROR main] this is printed by default
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z INFO main] the answer was: 12
//! ```
//!
//! ```{.bash}
//! $ RUST_LOG=debug ./main
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z DEBUG main] this is a debug message
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z ERROR main] this is printed by default
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z INFO main] the answer was: 12
//! ```
//!
//! You can also set the log level on a per module basis:
//!
//! ```{.bash}
//! $ RUST_LOG=main=info ./main
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z ERROR main] this is printed by default
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z INFO main] the answer was: 12
//! ```
//!
//! And enable all logging:
//!
//! ```{.bash}
//! $ RUST_LOG=main ./main
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z DEBUG main] this is a debug message
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z ERROR main] this is printed by default
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z INFO main] the answer was: 12
//! ```
//!
//! If the binary name contains hyphens, you will need to replace
//! them with underscores:
//!
//! ```{.bash}
//! $ RUST_LOG=my_app ./my-app
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z DEBUG my_app] this is a debug message
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z ERROR my_app] this is printed by default
//! [2017-11-09T02:12:24Z INFO my_app] the answer was: 12
//! ```
//!
//! This is because Rust modules and crates cannot contain hyphens
//! in their name, although `cargo` continues to accept them.
//!
//! See the documentation for the [`log` crate][log-crate-url] for more
//! information about its API.
//!
//! ## Enabling logging
//!
//! Log levels are controlled on a per-module basis, and **by default all
//! logging is disabled except for the `error` level**.
//!
//! Logging is controlled via the **`RUST_LOG`** environment variable. The
//! value of this environment variable is a comma-separated list of *logging
//! directives*. A logging directive is of the form:
//!
//! ```text
//! example::log::target=level
//! ```
//!
//! The log target is typically equal to the path of the module the message
//! in question originated from, though it can be overriden.
//!
//! The path is rooted in the name of the crate it was compiled for, so if
//! your program is in a file called, for example, `hello.rs`, the path would
//! simply be be `hello`.
//!
//! Furthermore, the log can be filtered using prefix-search based on the
//! specified log target. A value of, for example, `RUST_LOG=example`, would
//! match all of the messages with targets:
//!
//! * `example`
//! * `example::test`
//! * `example::test::module::submodule`
//! * `examples::and_more_examples`
//!
//! When providing the crate name or a module path, explicitly specifying the
//! log level is optional. If omitted, all logging for the item will be
//! enabled.
//!
//! The names of the log levels that may be specified correspond to the
//! variations of the [`log::Level`][level-enum] enum from the `log`
//! crate. They are:
//!
//! * `error`
//! * `warn`
//! * `info`
//! * `debug`
//! * `trace`
//!
//! There is also a pseudo logging level, `off`, which may be specified to
//! disable all logging for a given module or for the entire application. As
//! with the logging levels, the letter case is not significant[^fn-off].
//!
//! [^fn-off]: Similar to the universe of log level names, the `off` pseudo
//!    log level feature is also provided by the underlying `log` crate.
//!
//! The letter case is not significant for the logging level names; e.g.,
//! `debug`, `DEBUG`, and `dEbuG` all represent the same logging level. For
//! consistency, our convention is to use the lower case names. Where our docs
//! do use other forms, they do so in the context of specific examples, so you
//! won't be surprised if you see similar usage in the wild.
//!
//! As the log level for a module is optional, the module to enable logging for
//! is also optional. **If only a level is provided, then the global log
//! level for all modules is set to this value.**
//!
//! Some examples of valid values of `RUST_LOG` are:
//!
//! * `hello` turns on all logging for the 'hello' module
//! * `trace` turns on all logging for the application, regardless of its name
//! * `TRACE` turns on all logging for the application, regardless of its name (same as previous)
//! * `info` turns on all info logging
//! * `INFO` turns on all info logging (same as previous)
//! * `hello=debug` turns on debug logging for 'hello'
//! * `hello=DEBUG` turns on debug logging for 'hello' (same as previous)
//! * `hello,std::option` turns on hello, and std's option logging
//! * `error,hello=warn` turn on global error logging and also warn for hello
//! * `error,hello=off`  turn on global error logging, but turn off logging for hello
//! * `off` turns off all logging for the application
//! * `OFF` turns off all logging for the application (same as previous)
//!
//! ## Filtering results
//!
//! A `RUST_LOG` directive may include a regex filter. The syntax is to append `/`
//! followed by a regex. Each message is checked against the regex, and is only
//! logged if it matches. Note that the matching is done after formatting the
//! log string but before adding any logging meta-data. There is a single filter
//! for all modules.
//!
//! Some examples:
//!
//! * `hello/foo` turns on all logging for the 'hello' module where the log
//!   message includes 'foo'.
//! * `info/f.o` turns on all info logging where the log message includes 'foo',
//!   'f1o', 'fao', etc.
//! * `hello=debug/foo*foo` turns on debug logging for 'hello' where the log
//!   message includes 'foofoo' or 'fofoo' or 'fooooooofoo', etc.
//! * `error,hello=warn/[0-9]scopes` turn on global error logging and also
//!   warn for hello. In both cases the log message must include a single digit
//!   number followed by 'scopes'.
//!
//! ## Capturing logs in tests
//!
//! Records logged during `cargo test` will not be captured by the test harness by default.
//! The [`Builder::is_test`] method can be used in unit tests to ensure logs will be captured:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate log;
//! #[cfg(test)]
//! mod tests {
//!     fn init() {
//!         let _ = env_logger::builder().is_test(true).try_init();
//!     }
//!
//!     #[test]
//!     fn it_works() {
//!         init();
//!
//!         info!("This record will be captured by `cargo test`");
//!
//!         assert_eq!(2, 1 + 1);
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Enabling test capturing comes at the expense of color and other style support
//! and may have performance implications.
//!
//! ## Disabling colors
//!
//! Colors and other styles can be configured with the `RUST_LOG_STYLE`
//! environment variable. It accepts the following values:
//!
//! * `auto` (default) will attempt to print style characters, but don't force the issue.
//! If the console isn't available on Windows, or if TERM=dumb, for example, then don't print colors.
//! * `always` will always print style characters even if they aren't supported by the terminal.
//! This includes emitting ANSI colors on Windows if the console API is unavailable.
//! * `never` will never print style characters.
//!
//! ## Tweaking the default format
//!
//! Parts of the default format can be excluded from the log output using the [`Builder`].
//! The following example excludes the timestamp from the log output:
//!
//! ```
//! env_logger::builder()
//!     .format_timestamp(None)
//!     .init();
//! ```
//!
//! ### Stability of the default format
//!
//! The default format won't optimise for long-term stability, and explicitly makes no
//! guarantees about the stability of its output across major, minor or patch version
//! bumps during `0.x`.
//!
//! If you want to capture or interpret the output of `env_logger` programmatically
//! then you should use a custom format.
//!
//! ### Using a custom format
//!
//! Custom formats can be provided as closures to the [`Builder`].
//! These closures take a [`Formatter`] and `log::Record` as arguments:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::io::Write;
//!
//! env_logger::builder()
//!     .format(|buf, record| {
//!         writeln!(buf, "{}: {}", record.level(), record.args())
//!     })
//!     .init();
//! ```
//!
//! See the [`fmt`] module for more details about custom formats.
//!
//! ## Specifying defaults for environment variables
//!
//! `env_logger` can read configuration from environment variables.
//! If these variables aren't present, the default value to use can be tweaked with the [`Env`] type.
//! The following example defaults to log `warn` and above if the `RUST_LOG` environment variable
//! isn't set:
//!
//! ```
//! use env_logger::Env;
//!
//! env_logger::Builder::from_env(Env::default().default_filter_or("warn")).init();
//! ```
