//
// MLog
//
// This is what we call the logging-system.
//
// It is derived from the C++ streaming classes and can handle our
// logging. The log output can be redirected to stdout, stderr, any other
// stream or a root window.
//
// There is a global log-instance which you can use like cout, id is gLog.
// A log-instance of your choice (gLog by default) is destributed to all
// Task which are used in an eventloop, so that you can redirect the output
// of one eventloop to where you want..
//
// The MLog stream has the advantage, that it can be used like the common
// C++ streams (for example cout). It can redirect the stream to different
// outputs (console, file, GUI) if necessary at the same time.
//
// It supports different debug levels. The debug level of the current
// stream contents is set by SetDebugLevel, the output level of the
// current stream can be set by SetOutputLevel.
//
// The header file MLogManip.h contains so called manipulators (like flush
// or setw from iomanip.h) which can manipulate these levels from within
// stream, for example:
//    gLog << debug(3) << "Hallo World " << endl;
// sets the debug level of the following stream to 3
//
// edev(), ddev() can be used to enable/disable an output device from
// within the stream. The enumerations are defined in MLog::_flags
//
// Commonly used abbreviations are also defined:
//    dbginf  Prints source file name and line number. Used for output
//            which people may like to look up in the code
//    all     Is streamed to the output in any case. Used for outputs
//            which are requested by the user (eg TObject::Print)
//    err     Should be used for fatal errors which stops the current
//            processing, eg:
//              gLog << err << "ERROR: TObject::Copy - Stopped" << endl;
//    warn    Warning means an error occured, but it is not clear whether
//            this results further procesing or not.
//    inf     Informs the user about what's going on. Mostly usefull for
//            debugging, but in general not necessary at all.
//    dbg     Use this for your private purpose to mark something as debug
//            output. This is _not_ ment to be persistent!
//
// If your console is capable of ANSI colors the stream is displayed
// in several colors:
//    all:    default
//    err:    red
//    warn:   yellow/brown
//    inf:    green
//    dbg:    blue (and all other levels)
//
// If you have a dark background on your console you might want to set
// an environment variable, eg:
//    export MARSDEFINES=-DHAVE_DARKBACKGROUND
// and recompile MLog.
//
// If your console can display it also 'underline' can be used. This
// underlines a text till the next 'endl', eg:
//    gLog << underline << "This is important!" << endl;
//
// To switch off ANSI support call: SetNoColors()
//
// gLog is a global stream defined like cout or cerr
