/**
 * \defgroup logging Logging
 * \brief Logging functions and macros
 *
 *   LOG functionality: macros which allow developers to
 *     send information out on screen. All logging messages 
 *     are disabled by default. To enable selected logging 
 *     messages, use the ns3::LogComponentEnable
 *     function. 
 * 
 * Alternatively, you can use the NS_LOG
 * environment variable to define a ';'-separated list of
 * logging components to enable. For example, NS_LOG=a;b;c;DAFD;GH
 * would enable the components 'a', 'b', 'c', 'DAFD', and, 'GH'.
 *
 * For each component, the "debug" log level is enabled by default
 * but more components can be enabled selectively with the following
 * syntax: NS_LOG='Component1=func|param|warn;Component2=error|debug'
 * This example would enable the 'func', 'param', and 'warn' log
 * levels for 'Component1' and the 'error' and 'debug' log levels
 * for 'Component2'.
 *
 * The list of available log components can be printed on stdout
 * with the NS_LOG=print-list syntax.
 */

/**
 * \ingroup logging
 * \param name a string
 *
 * Define a Log component with a specific name. This macro
 * should be used at the top of every file in which you want 
 * to use the NS_LOG macro. This macro defines a new
 * "log component" which can be later selectively enabled
 * or disabled with the ns3::LogComponentEnable and 
 * ns3::LogComponentDisable functions or with the NS_LOG
 * environment variable.
