Tinylog is a lightweight C-language high performance log component for UNIX environment, It is high performance, asynchronized, thread-safe and process-safe log library for C/C++.
It support log archiving, asynchronized, multithreading writing, multiprocessing writing, non-blocking mode.
output example:
[2018-04-03 21:52:13,485][INFO][ example.c:7 ] This is a log message.
archive example:
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/code/tiny-log/test # ls log/ -l
total 11564

- Log to compressed archive file.
- Log level output.
- log format customization.
- asynchronized log output.
- Multiple log file support.
- printf, vprintf similar interface, easy to expand.
- non-blocking log mode.
- Multithreading concurrent write.
- Multiprcessing concurrent write.
- c++ std::cout sytle log function.
- Include the log header file
tlog.h
in the C code. - Call
tlog_init
to initialize the log module. - Call
tlog
ortlog_[debug|info|notice|warn|error|fatal]
function output log. - Call
tlog_[debug|info|notice|warn|error|fatal]<<
output c++ log. - Call
tlog_exit
to exit the shutdown log component.

Output log
#include <stdio.h> #include "tlog.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { tlog_init("example.log", 1024 * 1024, 8, 0, 0); tlog(TLOG_INFO, "This is a log message.\n"); tlog_exit(); return 0; }
-
Output log for c++ cout style
#include <stdio.h> #include "tlog.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { tlog_init("example.log", 1024 * 1024, 8, 0, 0); tlog_info << "This is a c++ cout style log message.\n"; tlog_exit(); return 0; }
-
Independent log stream
c printf style
#include <stdio.h> #include "tlog.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { tlog_log *log = NULL; tlog_init("example.log", 1024 * 1024, 8, 0, 0); log = tlog_open("another.log", 1024 * 1024, 8, 0, TLOG_SEGMENT); tlog_printf(log, "This is a separate log stream\n"); tlog_close(log); tlog_exit(); return 0; }
cpp std::out like style
#include <stdio.h> #include "tlog.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { tlog_log *log = NULL; tlog_init("example.log", 1024 * 1024, 8, 0, 0); log = tlog_open("another.log", 1024 * 1024, 8, 0, TLOG_SEGMENT); tlog_out(log) << "This is a separate log stream\n"; tlog_close(log); tlog_exit(); return 0; }
If you want filename wihout path in log, you can specify the macro BASE_FILE_NAME as the filename and generate as short file name when compiling. example as follows: (please check makefile in example directory.)
For makefile:
CFLAGS += -DBASE_FILE_NAME=\"$(notdir $<)\"
For cmake:
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -DBASE_FILE_NAME='\"$(notdir $<)\"'")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -DBASE_FILE_NAME='\"$(notdir $<)\"'")
