- Both Python and Bash language bindings exist for the logging mechanism:
+ Best practices exist while writing recipes that both log build
+ progress and act on build conditions such as warnings and errors.
+ For Python functions, the following logging functions exist.
+ All of these functions log to
+ <filename>${T}/log.do_</filename><replaceable>task</replaceable>,
+ and can also log to standard output (stdout) with the right
+ settings:

- <listitem><para><emphasis>Python:</emphasis> For Python functions, BitBake
- supports several loglevels: <filename>bb.fatal</filename>,

- and <filename>bb.debug</filename>.</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para><emphasis>Bash:</emphasis> For Bash functions, the same set
- of loglevels exist and are accessed with a similar syntax:

+ Writes "NOTE: <replaceable>msg</replaceable>" to the log.

<filename>bb.debug(</filename><replaceable>level</replaceable><filename>, </filename><replaceable>msg</replaceable><filename>)</filename>:
