Mixlib::Log

Mixlib::Log provides a mixin for enabling a class based logger object, a-la
Merb, Chef, and Nanite. To use it:

require 'mixlib/log'

class Log
  extend Mixlib::Log
end

You can then do:

Log.debug('foo')
Log.info('bar')
Log.warn('baz')
Log.error('baz')
Log.fatal('wewt')

By default, Mixlib::Logger logs to STDOUT. To alter this, you should call Log.init, passing any arguments to the standard Ruby Logger. For example:

Log.init('/tmp/logfile')  # log to /tmp/logfile
Log.init('/tmp/logfile', 7)  # log to /tmp/logfile, rotate every day

Enjoy!
