+Leveled execution logs for Go.
+
+This is an efficient pure Go implementation of leveled logs in the
+manner of the open source C++ package
+	http://code.google.com/p/google-glog
+
+By binding methods to booleans it is possible to use the log package
+without paying the expense of evaluating the arguments to the log.
+Through the -vmodule flag, the package also provides fine-grained
+control over logging at the file level.
+
+The comment from glog.go introduces the ideas:
+
+	Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal
+	C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup.  It provides functions Info, Warning,
+	Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It
+	also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and
+	-vmodule=file=2 flags.
+	
+	Basic examples:
+	
+		glog.Info("Prepare to repel boarders")
+	
+		glog.Fatalf("Initialization failed: %s", err)
+	
+	See the documentation for the V function for an explanation
+	of these examples:
+	
+		if glog.V(2) {
+			glog.Info("Starting transaction...")
+		}
+	
+		glog.V(2).Infoln("Processed", nItems, "elements")
+
+
+The repository contains an open source version of the log package
+used inside Google. The master copy of the source lives inside
+Google, not here. The code in this repo is for export only and is not itself
+under development. Feature requests will be ignored.
