/**
 * @file log4c.h
 * An easy-to-use, fast and flexible message logging architecture.
 *
 * This is loosely based on the Apache project's  Log4J, Log4CC,
 * etc. project. Because C is not object oriented, a lot had to change.
 *
 * The following documentation is a hacked version of the Log4J docs.
 *
 * OVERVIEW
 *
 * Log4C has 3 main concepts: category, priority and appender.
 * These three concepts work together to enable developers to log messages
 * according to message type and priority, and to control at runtime how these
 * messages are formatted and where they are reported.
 *
 * CATEGORY HIERARCHY
 *
 * The first and foremost advantage of any logging API over plain printf()
 * resides in its ability to disable certain log statements while allowing
 * others to print unhindered. This capability assumes that the logging space,
 * that is, the space of all possible logging statements, is categorized
 * according to some developer-chosen criteria.  
 *
 * This observation led to choosing category as the central concept of the
 * system. Every category is declared by providing a name and an optional
 * parent. If no parent is explicitly named, the root category, LOG_ROOT_CAT is
 * the category's parent.
 *
 * A category is created by a macro call at the top level of a file.
 * A category can be created with any one of the following macros:
 *
 *      - LOG_NEW_CATEGORY(MyCat);
 *      - LOG_NEW_SUBCATEGORY(MyCat, ParentCat);
 *      - LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_CATEGORY(MyCat);
 *      - LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_SUBCATEGORY(MyCat, ParentCat);
 *
 * The parent cat can be defined in the same file or in another file, but each
 * category may have only one definition.
 *
 * Typically, there will be a Category for each module and sub-module, so you
 * can independently control logging for each module.
 *
 * PRIORITY
 *
 * A category may be assigned a threshold priorty. The set of priorites are
 * defined by symbolic constants: LP_TRACE, LP_DEBUG, LP_INFO,
 * LP_NOTICE, LP_WARNING , LP_ERROR, LP_CRITICAL, LP_ALERT, and LP_EMERGENCY.
 * The priorities are simply non-negative integers. [It is possible to use your
 * own set by supplying a custom appender.]
 *
 * If a given category is not assigned a threshold priority, then it inherits
 * one from its closest ancestor with an assigned threshold.
 *
 * To ensure that all categories can eventually inherit a threshold, the root
 * category always has an assigned threshold priority.
 *
 * Logging requests are made by invoking a logging macro on a category.
 * All of the macros have a printf-style format string followed by arguments. 
 * Because most C compilers do not support vararg macros, there is a version of
 * the macro for any number of arguments from 0 to 6. The macro name ends with
 * the total number of arguments.
 *
 * Here is an example of the most basic type of macro:
 *
 * <code>
 *      CLOG5(MyCat, LP_WARN, "Values are: %d and '%s'", 5, "oops");
 * </code>
 *
 * This is a logging request with priority WARN.
 *
 * A logging request is said to be enabled if its priority is higher than or
 * equal to the threshold priority of its category. Otherwise, the request is
 * said to be disabled. A category without an assigned priority will inherit
 * one from the hierarchy.
 *
 * It is possible to use any non-negative integer as a priority. If, as in the
 * example, one of the standard priorites is used, then there is a convenience
 * macro that is typically used instead. For example, the above example is
 * equivalent to the shorter:
 *
 * <code>
 *      CWARN4(MyCat, "Values are: %d and '%s'", 5, "oops");
 * </code>
 *
 * DEFAULT CATEGORY
 *
 * If LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_SUBCATEGORY(MyCat, Parent) or
 * LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_CATEGORY(MyCat) is used to create the category, then the
 * even shorter form can be used:
 *
 * <code>
 *      WARN3("Values are: %d and '%s'", 5, "oops");
 * </code>
 *
 * Only one default category can be created per file, though multiple
 * non-defaults can be created and used.
 *
 * EXAMPLE
 *
 * Here is a more complete example:
 *
 * @code
 *      #include "log4c.h"
 *
 *      // create a category and a default subcategory
 *      LOG_NEW_CATEGORY(VSS);
 *      LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_SUBCATEGORY(SA, VSS);
 *
 *      main() {
 *             // Now set the parent's priority.
 *             // (the string would typcially be a runtime option)
 *             log_setControlString("SA.thresh=3");
 *
 *             // This request is enabled, because WARNING >= INFO.
 *             CWARN2(VSS, "Low fuel level.");
 *
 *             // This request is disabled, because DEBUG < INFO.
 *             CDEBUG2(VSS, "Starting search for nearest gas station."); 
 *
 *             // The default category SA inherits its priority from VSS. Thus,
 *             // the following request is enabled because INFO >= INFO.  
 *             INFO1("Located nearest gas station.");
 *
 *             // This request is disabled, because DEBUG < INFO.
 *             DEBUG1("Exiting gas station search");
 *       }
 * @endcode
 *
 * PERFORMANCE
 *
 * Clever design insures efficiency. Except for the first invocation, a
 * disabled logging request requires an a single comparison of a static
 * variable to a constant.
 *
 * There is also compile time constant, LOG_STATIC_THRESHOLD, which causes all
 * logging requests with a lower priority to be optimized to 0 cost by the
 * compiler. By setting it to LP_INFINITE, all logging requests are statically
 * disabled and cost nothing. Released executables might typically be compiled
 * with "-DLOG_STATIC_THRESHOLD=LP_INFO"
 *
 * APPENDERS
 *
 * Each category has an optional appender. An appender is a pointer to a
 * structure whcih starts with a pointer to a doAppend() function. DoAppend()
 * prints a message to a log.
 *
 * WHen a category is passed a message by one of the logging macros, the
 * category performs the following actions:
 * 
 * 1. if the category has an appender, the message is passed to the appender's
 *    doAppend() function,
 *
 * 2. if 'willLogToParent' is true for the category,  the message is passed to
 * the category's parent.
 *
 * By default, all categories except root have no appender and
 * 'willLogToParent' is true. This situation causes all messages to be logged
 * by the root category's appender.
 *
 * Typically, you would only change the root category's appender when you
 * wanted, say, a different output format. Copying log_default.c would
 * be a good start.
 *
 * The default appender function currently prints to stderr.
 *
 * MISC
 *
 * Do not use any of the macros that start with '_'.
 *
 * CAVEATS
 *
 * Category names are global variables.
