I'm initializing a Logger variable in an init() function and then 
attempting to use in the main() function. However, I'm able to Printf from 
the Logger in the init() function but not inside the main() function. Any 
help would be appreciated.

package main

import (

    "fmt"
    "log"
    "io"
    
    "os"

}

var (

logFile *os.File 
logger *log.Logger
multiWriter io.Writer

)

func init() {

fmt.Println("init() function")

var logFileError error
logFile, logFileError = os.Create("gopoc.log")
if logFileError != nil {
panic(logFileError)
}
defer logFile.Close()

fmt.Println("Creating log file")

multiWriter = io.MultiWriter(logFile, os.Stdout)

logger = log.New(multiWriter, gopocLogPrefix, log.Ldate | log.Ltime | 
log.Lshortfile)
logger.SetOutput(multiWriter)

fmt.Println("Created logger")

logger.Printf("Using logger")  // prints to console and logFile as expected

}

func main() {

fmt.Println("main() function ") // prints to console

fmt.Println(logger) // I can see the object pointer

        logger.Print("hello") // This does not print to logFile nor 
os.Stdout !!!

}
