About:
Log4c is a lightweight, portable logging framework for C, modeled after Log4j. It provides a flexible architecture for logging to various outputs, including files, console, and system logs. Its main value is offering granular control over log levels and destinations without heavy dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Hierarchical logger categories
  • Flexible layout and appenders
  • Runtime configuration via XML or property files
  • Supports multiple output destinations
Use Cases:
  • Adding structured logging to C applications
  • Debugging embedded systems or daemons
  • Centralizing log management in multi-module projects
Alternatives:
  • syslog – Standard system logging; less flexible for formatting and hierarchy than Log4c
  • glog – Google's logging library; C++ focused, whereas Log4c is native C
