A pure Go implementation of leveled logging modeled on Google's C++ glog, providing Info/Warning/Error/Fatal functions plus V-style verbosity control. It supports fine-grained per-file verbosity via the -vmodule flag and efficient boolean-bound logging.

Use cases

  • add leveled logging to a Go application
  • control log verbosity per file with vmodule flags
  • port C++ glog-style logging to Go
  • avoid runtime cost of evaluating log arguments
  • use Google's internal-style logging in Go projects

When to choose

  • you want glog-compatible leveled logging in Go
  • you need per-file verbosity control via command-line flags
  • you want zero-cost logging when verbosity is disabled

When to avoid

  • you need new features or active development - the repo is export-only and feature requests are ignored
  • you prefer structured or pluggable logging libraries like zap or zerolog
  • you want a logger with built-in log shipping or output customization
