56// <synopsis>
57// The <src>LogFilter</src> class is used by the various log sink classes,
58// typically accessed through <linkto class="LogSink">LogSink</linkto>, to
59// decide whether a particular <linkto class="LogMessage">LogMessage</linkto>
60// should be accepted or rejected.
61//
62// Simple filtering is based on the messages priority.
63// In particular, you typically will choose to only pass messages greater
64// than or equal to <src>NORMAL</src> in priority, but you might choose
65// <src>DEBUGGING</src> to see all messages, or <src>SEVERE</src> to only see
66// messages that report serious problems.
67// </synopsis>
68//
69// <example>
70// Suppose we wanted to change the global sink so that it prints all messages,
71// including debugging messages:
72// <srcblock>
73// LogFilter all(LogMessage::DEBUGGING);
74// LogSink::globalSink().filter(all);
75// </srcblock>
