Overview of this book

Mozilla’s Rust is gaining much attention with amazing features and a powerful library. This book will take you through varied recipes to teach you how to leverage the Standard library to implement efficient solutions. The book begins with a brief look at the basic modules of the Standard library and collections. From here, the recipes will cover packages that support file/directory handling and interaction through parsing. You will learn about packages related to advanced data structures, error handling, and networking. You will also learn to work with futures and experimental nightly features. The book also covers the most relevant external crates in Rust. By the end of the book, you will be proficient at using the Rust Standard library.

For simplicity's sake, FileLogger doesn't discriminate against any targets. A more sophisticated logger, like env_logger, can set different logging levels on different targets. For this purpose, log provides us with the LevelFilter enum, which has an Off state that corresponds to no logging enabled for this target. If you need to create such a logger, be sure to remember said enum. You can get some inspiration about how to implement target-based filters by looking at the source code of env_logger at https://github.com/sebasmagri/env_logger/blob/master/src/filter/mod.rs.

In a really user-friendly logger, you'll want to display the timestamp in the user's own local time. For all things related to time measurement, time zones, and dates, check out the chrono crate at https://crates.io/crates/chrono.
