Overview

About

Maintained by Gergely DarócziFirst published 2019-01-028 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Inspired by the the 'futile.logger' R package and 'logging' Python module, this utility provides a flexible and extensible way of formatting and delivering log messages with low overhead.

grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
