 * @brief       System logging header
 *
 * This header offers a bunch of "LOG_*" functions that, with the default
 * implementation, just use printf, but honour a verbosity level.
 *
 * If desired, it is possible to implement a log module which then will be used
 * instead the default printf-based implementation.  In order to do so, the log
 * module has to
 *
 * 1. provide "log_module.h"
 * 2. have a name starting with "log_" *or* depend on the pseudo-module LOG,
 * 3. implement log_write()
 *
 * See "sys/log/log_printfnoformat" for an example.

/**
 * @brief defined log levels
 *
 * These are the logging levels a user can choose.
 * The idea is to set LOG_LEVEL to one of these values in the application's Makefile.
 * That will restrict output of log statements to those with equal or lower log level.
 *
 * The default log level is LOG_INFO, which will print every message.
 *
 * The log function calls of filtered messages will be optimized out at compile
 * time, so a lower log level might result in smaller code size.
