Wyatt Hepler2ccde062020-09-16 21:58:53 -07006``pw_log_basic`` is a ``pw_log backend`` that sends logs over ``pw_sys_io`` by
7default. The destination of ``pw_sys_io`` depends on the ``pw_sys_io`` backend
8in use. This is controlled by the ``dir_pw_sys_io_backend`` variable in a
9target's ``target_config.gni``.
10
11The log output may be changed from ``pw_sys_io`` to an arbitrary function by
12calling ``pw::log_basic::SetOutput``.

18 Set the log output function, which defaults ``pw_sys_io::WriteLine``. This
19 function is called with each formatted log message.

21This module employs an internal buffer for formatting log strings, and currently
22has a fixed size of 150 bytes. Any final log statements that are larger than
23149 bytes (one byte used for a null terminator) will be truncated.
