A simple logging library for C99 that provides printf-style logging macros across six severity levels. It is a drop-in two-file library supporting quiet mode, log levels, file and callback outputs, thread locking, and optional ANSI colors.

Use cases

  • add logging to a C project
  • log to stderr and files in C
  • thread-safe logging in C
  • simple printf-style log macros
  • colored log output in a terminal

When to choose

  • you need a tiny, dependency-free logging solution in C
  • you want to drop two files into an existing project
  • you need multiple log outputs (stderr, files, callbacks) with levels

When to avoid

  • you need structured/JSON logging or log rotation
  • you want async or high-performance logging at scale
  • you are not writing C
