// Package log implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup.
// It provides functions Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as
// Infof. It also provides V-style logging and adaptions for use as a structured
// logging engine.
//
// Basic examples:
//
//	log.Info("Prepare to repel boarders")
//
//	log.Fatal("Initialization failed", err)
//
//  // Log with context.
//  log.Infoc(context, "client error: %s", err)
//
// See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples:
//
//	if log.V(2) {
//		log.Info("Starting transaction...")
//	}
//
// Log output is buffered and written periodically using Flush. Programs
// should call Flush before exiting to guarantee all log output is written.
//
// By default, all log statements write to files in a temporary directory.
// This package provides several flags that modify this behavior.
// These are provided via the pflags library; see InitFlags.
//
//	--logtostderr=LEVEL
//		Logs are written to standard error as well as to files.
//    Entries with severity below LEVEL are not written to stderr.
//    "true" and "false" are also supported (everything / nothing).
//	--log-dir="..."
//		Log files will be written to this directory instead of the
//		default target directory.
//  --log-file-verbosity=LEVEL
//    Entries with severity below LEVEL are not written to the log file.
//    "true" and "false" are also supported (everything / nothing).
//  --log-file-max-size=N
//    Log files are rotated after reaching that size.
//  --log-dir-max-size=N
//    Log files are removed after log directory reaches that size.
//
//	Other flags provide aids to debugging.
//
//	--log-backtrace-at=""
//		When set to a file and line number holding a logging statement,
//		such as
//			-log_backtrace_at=gopherflakes.go:234
//		a stack trace will be written to the Info log whenever execution
//		hits that statement. (Unlike with --vmodule, the ".go" must be
//		present.)
//	--verbosity=0
//		Enable V-leveled logging at the specified level.
//	--vmodule=""
//		The syntax of the argument is a comma-separated list of pattern=N,
//		where pattern is a literal file name (minus the ".go" suffix) or
//		"glob" pattern and N is a V level. For instance,
//			-vmodule=gopher*=3
//		sets the V level to 3 in all Go files whose names begin "gopher".
