## Description

## Functions

### gwy_app_setup_logging ()

    void
    gwy_app_setup_logging (GwyAppLoggingFlags flags);

Sets up Gwyddion GLib log handler.

The log handler sends the messages to a log file or console, as Gwyddion usually does. This function may not be useful in Gwyddion-based programs unless they try to emulate Gwyddion behaviour closely.

#### Parameters

flags | Flags controlling how messages are handled. |

Since: 2.45

### gwy_app_set_log_messages ()

    void
    gwy_app_set_log_messages (const gchar *domain,
                              GLogLevelFlags log_levels,
                              gboolean setting);

### gwy_app_get_log_text_buffer ()

    GtkTextBuffer *
    gwy_app_get_log_text_buffer (void);

Obtains a text buffer with program log messages.

This functions may only be called after `gwy_app_setup_logging()` and, obviously, after GTK+ was intialised.

The text buffer is owned by the library and must not be modified nor destroyed. It will be already filled with messages occurring between `gwy_app_setup_logging()` and this function call. New messages will be appended to the buffer as they arrive.

#### Returns

Text buffer with the program log messages.

Since: 2.45

## Types and Values

### enum GwyAppLoggingFlags

Flags controlling where program messages are written.

#### Members

GWY_APP_LOGGING_TO_FILE | Messages go to a log file, either gwyddion.log or given by environment variable GWYDDION_LOGFILE. |
GWY_APP_LOGGING_TO_CONSOLE | Messages go to standard output and standard error depending on message type (emulating where GLib sends them). |

Since: 2.45
