Basic logging facility
The purpose of this module is to define a mutable logging function which ensures to be always pointing to a valid logging implementation. By default, the function prints the messages to stderr, prepended by a timestamp. In Netplex context, the implementation is changed so that the Netplex logger is used instead (see Netplex_log), and the log and logf functions below have the same effect as the counterparts in Netplex_cenv with the same name.
The variable containing the current logger function. Defaults to channel_logger stderr `Debug at program startup. Assign something else to this variable in order to change the log destination or the log level.
Note that the function Netplex_main.run modifies current_logger so log messages are forwarded to the Netplex logger. It is then the Netplex framework that determines log destination and level.
val format_timestamp : format->int ->(float * int)-> string
format_timestamp fmt digits (seconds,nanos): Formats the timestamp (seconds,nanos) and returns the string. Pass in digits the number of digits for fractional seconds.
`Std: This is the "%c" format of Netdate
`ISO: ISO-8601 format
val current_formatter : ((float * int)-> string)Stdlib.ref
The current timestamp formatter
Example: Change the format of timestamps to ISO with a precision of milliseconds:
