NAME

shtk_cli_set_log_level — Sets the level of the logging messages to display

LIBRARY

shtk_import cli

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The shtk_cli_set_log_level function sets the maximum logging level of the messages that will be sent to stderr. The possible values for level are, in order of severity: ‘error’, ‘warning’, ‘info’ and ‘debug’, and correspond to the various functions of the form ‘shtk_cli_<level>’.

For example: setting the level to ‘warning’ would display error-level and warning-level messages but would omit info-level and debug-level messages. This is an appropriate way of implementing a quiet/verbose mode in applications.

It is important to note that error-level messages are always displayed because the minimum logging level that can be set is ‘error’.

The current log level can be programmatically queried with the shtk_cli_log_level(3) function and the default level corresponds to ‘info’.
