the user a fine control at run time of what gets displayed and what don't.
For that, <i>log event</i> are produced into <i>log channels</i> at a given
<i>log priority</i>. Then, you can select the minimal priority an event
-should have on a given channel to get displayed.
+should have on a given channel to get displayed.
Then, to keep things managable even when the number of channels increase,
the channels form a tree and properties get inherited from parent channel to
their respective subchannels too). Finally, channels are not just open or
closed, but filter messages below a given priority (as we said). The
priorities are defined by type #e_xbt_log_priority_t.

That is all you really need to know about the logs before diving into
practice. If you want more information on that topic, refer to the \ref
XBT_log section, which contains much more information than this page.

Then, we change any call to fprintf to one of the logging macros. There is a
-plenty of them, called <priority><nb args>, such as #DEBUG10,
-which produces a debuging log event onto the default category. You have to
-declare the name of arguments as part of the macro name for compatibility
-with old compilers not accepting variable number of arguments. Here is a
-partial list of the existing macros: #DEBUG10, #VERB10, #INFO10, #WARN10,
-#ERROR10 and #CRITICAL10. For each priority, this is the biggest macro (and
-the others are not documented for sake of clarity in the relevant document).
-Ie, VERB20 does not exist, but VERB0 does exist. I may add more if someone
-wants more, but that should be enough for most purposes.

Note also that there is no need to add a '\\n' at the end of your format
line, it gets automatically added.

Once we changed any fprintf of our code to some of these macros, the program

+may read:
\include 06-logs.c
And the output now looks better:
\include 06-logs.output.verbose
On the contrary, if we want to reduce the amount of logging, we may want to
