records.sh

See https://github.com/orbit-online/records.sh for the full README and more advanced use-cases.

Usage

Source the script with source "records.sh" and log messages with the lowercased loglevel as the function name:

debug 'Starting up.'
verbose 'Startup completed'
info 'Hello world!'
warning 'Careful!'
error 'Oh no!'

The method signature of the logging functions mimic that of printf: info FORMAT [ARGS...]. Which means you can format variables.

$ var=0x1f
$ info "The decimal version of %s is %d" "$var" "$var"
example.sh: The decimal version of 0x1f is 31

All log messages are output to stderr. If you want to log something to stdout simply run e.g. info 'message' 2>&1.
