The default log handler set up by GLib; g_log_set_default_handler()
allows to install an alternate default log handler.
This is used if no log handler has been set for the particular log
domain and log level combination. It outputs the message to stderr
or stdout and if the log level is fatal it calls G_BREAKPOINT(). It automatically
prints a new-line character after the message, so one does not need to be
manually included in @message.
The behavior of this log handler can be influenced by a number of
environment variables:
- G_MESSAGES_PREFIXED: A :-separated list of log levels for which
messages should be prefixed by the program name and PID of the
application.
- G_MESSAGES_DEBUG: A space-separated list of log domains for
which debug and informational messages are printed. By default
these messages are not printed.
stderr is used for levels %G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, %G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL,
%G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING and %G_LOG_LEVEL_MESSAGE. stdout is used for
the rest, unless stderr was requested by
g_log_writer_default_set_use_stderr().
This has no effect if structured logging is enabled; see
[Using Structured Logging][using-structured-logging].
