+" -> debug: crufty output\n"

+" -> %%n: platform-dependent line separator (LOG4J compatible)\n"
+" -> %%e: plain old space (SimGrid extension)\n"

+" -> %%m: user-provided message\n"

+" -> %%c: Category name (LOG4J compatible)\n"
+" -> %%p: Priority name (LOG4J compatible)\n"

+" -> %%h: Hostname (SimGrid extension)\n"
+" -> %%P: Process name (SimGrid extension)\n"
+" -> %%t: Thread \"name\" (LOG4J compatible -- actually the address of the thread in memory)\n"
+" -> %%i: Process PID (SimGrid extension -- this is a 'i' as in 'i'dea)\n"
+"\n"
+" -> %%F: file name where the log event was raised (LOG4J compatible)\n"
+" -> %%l: location where the log event was raised (LOG4J compatible, like '%%F:%%L' -- this is a l as in 'l'etter)\n"
+" -> %%L: line number where the log event was raised (LOG4J compatible)\n"
+" -> %%M: function name (LOG4J compatible -- called method name here of course).\n"
+" Defined only when using gcc because there is no __FUNCTION__ elsewhere.\n"
+"\n"
+" -> %%b: full backtrace (Called %%throwable in LOG4J). Defined only under windows or when using the GNU libc because\n"
+" backtrace() is not defined elsewhere, and we only have a fallback for windows boxes, not mac ones for example.\n"
+" -> %%B: short backtrace (only the first line of the %%b). Called %%throwable{short} in LOG4J; defined where %%b is.\n"
+"\n"
+" -> %%d: date (UNIX-like epoch)\n"
+" -> %%r: application age (time elapsed since the beginning of the application)\n"
