# Logger

Logger is a simple but powerful logging utility to output messages in your Ruby program.

Logger has the following features:

 * Print messages to different levels such as `info` and `error`
 * Auto-rolling of log files
 * Setting the format of log messages
 * Specifying a program name in conjunction with the message

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'logger'
```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install logger

## Usage

### Simple Example

```ruby
require 'logger'

# Create a Logger that prints to STDOUT
log = Logger.new(STDOUT)
log.debug("Created Logger")

log.info("Program finished")

# Create a Logger that prints to STDERR
error_log = Logger.new(STDERR)
error_log = error_log.error("fatal error")
```
