Description-en: C++ logging library (default version)
This package forms part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection.
.
This library aims to make logging significantly easier for the
application developer. It provides a wide range of out-of-the-box
tools along with public interfaces for extending the library. The
main goals of the library are:
.
* Simplicity. A small example code snippet should be enough to get
the feel of the library and be ready to use its basic features.
* Extensibility. A user should be able to extend functionality of the
library for collecting and storing information into logs.
* Performance. The library should have as little performance impact on
the user's application as possible.
.
This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default
Boost version (currently 1.58).
