logging

Hello,

gcc 4.4.4 c89

I am writing a client/server application. I have finished and now I want to implement some logging feature that will display log messages on the screen as well as log to a file.

However, I don't want to display all log messages (warning, error, critical, unrecoverable, debug, etc). Maybe I can set so that it will display, just errors and debug messages and nothing else. For example, the user might not be interested in the debug messages.

Is there any design-pattern that I can follow? What do you normally for for logging? Any tutorials out there that address logging?

many thanks for any suggestions,
