FAQ

Can I try slog without modifying my code (too much)?

Yes. See slog-stdlog crate and slog oldlogging example.

#[macro_use]
extern crate log;
extern crate slog_stdlog;

fn main() {
     slog_stdlog::init().unwrap();
     // Note: this `info!(...)` macro comes from `log` crate
     info!("standard logging redirected to slog");
 }

Won't info! and similar macros from slog clash with log macros?

If you start a new project, you should just use slog and not log.

If you're just trying out slog in existing project, you can use slog-stdlog and keep using log crate macros. During transition period to slog, you can use alternative names of slog macros. See slog alternative names example

Can I output file, line module and similar.

Yes. Every closure-value is provided with RecordInfo argument which contains that information. Output it under any name you want, any way you want. See slog file-line-module example.
