Module msg

Message logging support for Lua

This module is builtin and does not need to be manually loaded.

This built-in library offers support for logging messages from Lua code. Five verbosity levels are available. By default, verbose and debug messages are not shown, but this can be changed when launching Luakit.

All parameters are converted to strings. A newline is automatically appended.

webview.add_signal("init", function (view)
    msg.debug("Opening a new web view <%d>", view.id)
end)
