greaseLib

A library for creating low latency, low CPU usage logging subsystems.

Features:

• Tries to be as zero-copy as possible when creating amalgamted log
• Low overhead when creating multiple sinks
• No blocking ever on log APIs
• 3 primary meta data for each log entry: tag, origin, level
• Support for custom log routing (logMeta)
• Support for a fast, Unix socket log sink using UNIX datagram
• Support for std syslog socket

Documentation:

The source. Perhaps we will have time to add some eventually.

But see standalone_test_logsink.c to get started.

Build Instructions:

1. Build the dependencies inside deps folder

 cd greaseLib\deps
 sh install-deps.sh

2. Build the grease lib or application (make grease_echo or make standalone_test_logsink) with makefile

cd greaseLib
make
