How about "an enhanced replacement for the syslog() API [with admin-configurable destinations]" Note that 1.0.1 is a shim. I am currently working on the "real" version. If you check the git, you'll see quite a bit of activity. > > The homepage http://www.liblogging.org/ isn't that helpful either > regarding what liblogging (and its components) is supposed to be. > > Can you give a oneline description of the liblogging-stdlog library > and a short paragraph going into more detail? > Short paragraph could probably be: --- Think of liblogging-stdlog as the next version of the syslog(3) API. It retains the easy semantics, but makes the API more sophisticated "behind the scenes" with better support for multiple threads and flexibility for different log destinations. It provides seperation of concerns, where the application developer is responsible only for logging, but the administrator can select the log diver, e.g. go to syslog, file or systemd journal. In that sense, it is similar to log4j. --- Does this work for you? Again, the 1.0.1 version *does not* fit into that description. But 1.1 will, and I am actively working on it.
