Levels

A large amount of information can be logged. The log is arranged as a succession of levels. At the lowest level, only extremely strange situations are logged. At the highest level, even the most mundane and uninteresting events are recorded for posterity. As a convention, log levels under 10 are considered ``useful''; log levels above 64 are reserved for debugging purposes. Levels from 11-64 are reserved for verbose information that some sites might want.

The log level is set with the L configuration option. See ``Log Levels'' for a complete description of log levels.
