RetroDECK/functions/logger.sh

# This script provides a logging function 'log' that can be sourced in other scripts.
# It logs messages to both the terminal and a specified logfile, supporting multiple log levels.
# The log function takes three parameters: log level, log message, and optionally the logfile. If no logfile is specified, it writes to retrodeck/logs/retrodeck.log.
# 
# Supported logging levels (controlled by the variable 'logging_level'):
# - none: No logs are produced.
# - info: Logs informational messages (i) and errors (e).
# - warn: Logs warnings (w), informational messages (i), and errors (e).
# - debug: Logs all message types (d, w, i, e).
#
# Type of log messages:
# - d: Debug message (logged only in debug level).
# - i: Informational message (logged in debug, info, and warn levels).
# - w: Warning message (logged in debug and warn levels).
# - e: Error message (logged in all levels except none).
#
# Example usage:
# log w "foo" -> Logs a warning with message "foo" to the default log file retrodeck/logs/retrodeck.log.
# log e "bar" -> Logs an error with message "bar" to the default log file retrodeck/logs/retrodeck.log.
# log i "baz" rekku.log -> Logs an informational message "baz" to the specified log file retrodeck/logs/rekku.log.
#
# The function auto-detects if the shell is sh and avoids colorizing the output in that case.
