FUNCTION::LOG(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::LOG 💖 (Logging Tapset, 3stap)

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're learning log and it's literally the easiest glow-up in the whole tapset 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

function::log — send a line to the common trace buffer 💌

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

log(msg:string)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• msg — the formatted message string, aka the whole vibe you're trying to get across 💬

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: this function logs data. That's it, that's the job. 🧚

log sends the message immediately to staprun and also to the bulk transport (relayfs) if it is being used. no waiting, no queueing, straight to the front of the line, main character energy fr fr 👑

And the little detail that's lowkey so thoughtful: if the last character you gave it is not a newline, then one is added for you. so you never have to worry about your message running into the next one — she handles it 💅

⚠️ real talk though: this function is not as efficient as printf and should be used only for urgent messages. it's giving "emergency broadcast", not "casual group chat spam". so don't be out here using log for everything, bestie, she's a diva with a purpose 😭
