Default log to console, you can set Logger.Out to set a file writer into log.

)

log.Default.Out = &writers.FixedSizeFileWriter{
	Name:	 "/tmp/test.log",
	MaxSize:  10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10m
	MaxCount: 10,
})

Three builtin writers for use

// Create log file if file size large than fixed size (10m)
// files: /tmp/test.log.0 .. test.log.10
&writers.FixedSizeFileWriter{
	Name:	 "/tmp/test.log",
	MaxSize:  10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10m
	MaxCount: 10,
}

// Create log file every day.
// files: /tmp/test.log.20160102
&writers.DailyFileWriter{
	Name: "/tmp/test.log",
	MaxCount: 10,
}

// Create log file every process.
// files: /tmp/test.log.20160102_150405
&writers.AlwaysNewFileWriter{
	Name: "/tmp/test.log",
	MaxCount: 10,
}

// Output to multiple writes
io.MultiWriter(
	os.Stdout,
	&writers.DailyFileWriter{
		Name: "/tmp/test.log",
		MaxCount: 10,
	}
	//...
)

Formatter

import (
	"github.com/subchen/go-log"

func main() {
	logger := &log.Logger{
		Level:     log.INFO,
