56 // <synopsis>
57 // The <src>LogFilter</src> class is used by the various log sink classes,
58 // typically accessed through <linkto class="LogSink">LogSink</linkto>, to
59 // decide whether a particular <linkto class="LogMessage">LogMessage</linkto>
60 // should be accepted or rejected.
61 //
62 // Simple filtering is based on the messages priority.
63 // In particular, you typically will choose to only pass messages greater
64 // than or equal to <src>NORMAL</src> in priority, but you might choose
65 // <src>DEBUGGING</src> to see all messages, or <src>SEVERE</src> to only see
66 // messages that report serious problems.
67 // </synopsis>
68 //
69 // <example>
70 // Suppose we wanted to change the global sink so that it prints all messages,
71 // including debugging messages:
72 // <srcblock>
73 // LogFilter all(LogMessage::DEBUGGING);
74 // LogSink::globalSink().filter(all);
75 // </srcblock>
