@cindex logging

The @code{(ssh log)} module provides procedures to control the libssh logging
facilities.

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} %default-log-printer priority function message userdata
Default callback for printing log messages to the current error port.  The
procedure comments out log messages with ``;;; `` to make it easier to
distinguish libssh traces from Guile-SSH messages in REPL mode.

This callback is set by default.
@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} %default-libssh-log-printer priority function message userdata
The procedure makes log messages in the same format as the libssh default log
formatter.
@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} current-logging-callback
Return the current logging callback.  Returns a procedure or @code{#f} if the
callback is not set.
@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} set-logging-callback! callback
Change the current logging callback to @var{callback}.  The @var{callback}
must be a procedure that takes four arguments: priority of a log message, a
function name, the message and a custom user data.

Throw @code{guile-ssh-error} on an error.  Return value is undefined.

Here is an example of a custom callback which indents each log message
according to its priority:

@lisp
(define (pretty-log-printer priority function message userdata)
  (do ((i 1 (1+ i)))
      ((> i priority))
    (display "  " (current-error-port)))
  (format (current-error-port) "[~a] ~a~%"
          (strftime "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z" (localtime (current-time)))
          message))

(set-logging-callback! pretty-log-printer)
@end lisp

You can restore the default callback as the follows:

@lisp
(set-logging-callback! %default-log-printer)
@end lisp

@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} set-log-userdata! user-data
Set an arbitrary @var{user-data} to be passed to a logging callback.
Throw @code{guile-ssh-error} on an error.  Return value is undefined.

By default the user data is set to @code{#f}.
@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} get-log-userdata
Get the current user data.
@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} format-log priority procedure-name format-string arg ...
Write a formatted message to the libssh log with the given @var{priority}.
Return value is undefined.

Syntax for the @var{format-string} is the same as for @code{format} procedure.

@var{priority} is expected to be a symbol.  Acceptable priority levels are:

@table @samp
@item nolog
The message will be printed even if the logging is disabled
@item rare
Rare and noteworthy events
@item protocol
High level protocol information
@item packet
Lower level protocol infomations, packet level
@item functions
Function path
@end table

@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} set-log-verbosity! verbosity
Set the global log verbosity to a @var{verbosity}.  Throw
@code{guile-ssh-error} on error.  Return value is undefined.

@var{verbosity} is expected to be one of the following symbols:

@table @samp
@item nolog
The message will be printed even if the logging is disabled
@item rare
Rare and noteworthy events
@item protocol
High level protocol information
@item packet
Lower level protocol infomations, packet level
@item functions
Function path
@end table

@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} get-log-verbosity
Get global log verbosity value.
@end deffn
