/*
* Log.h: A heavily-modified version of Shlog, a simple C logging
* facility that allows for colorful output, timestamps, and custom
* log levels. This library differs from Shlog in that the naming
* conventions have been updated to be consistent with Telodendria.
*
* Shlog was originally a learning project. It worked well, however,
* and produced elegant logging output, so it was chosen to be the
* main logging mechanism of Telodendria. The original Shlog project
* is now dead; Shlog lives on now only as Telodendria's logging
* mechanism.
*
* In the name of simplicity and portability, I opted to use an
* in-house logging system instead of syslog(), or other system logging
* mechanisms. However, this API could easily be patched to allow
* logging via other mechanisms that support the same features.
