Logging

Logs play an important part in diagnostics in Fuchsia as they describe human readable events that have happened on a system.

When working with the IDK, you can publish logs with the syslog API which is available for C in //pkg/syslog and C++ in //pkg/syslog_cpp.

When you work with the IDK, one of the main tools for working with logs is ffx log to retrieve logs from a Fuchsia device.
