Overview

The "log" package provides support for logging messages to stdout, stderr or custom devices.

)

log.Printf("something %s\n", "else")

Changing the Logging Device

By default, the logger is set to write to stderr. To change that:

import (
    "log"
    "os"
)
...
func init() {

    // change the device for logging to stdout
    log.SetOutput(os.Stdout)
}
