Description Usage Arguments Details See Also Examples

Initialises the logging to the console and optionally a file.

1	start_logging(level = "INFO", file = NULL, logger = "", reset = TRUE)

`level`	The logging level of the root logger. Defaults to "INFO".
`file`	Optional file name or path for logging to a file. Defaults to NULL.
`logger`	Character string indicating the logger for the handler. Defaults to the root logger.
`reset`	Boolean value indicating whether to reset the logging to the `basicConfig`.

Starts logging by loading the logging package, resetting the logging (reset = TRUE, the default). Then it sets up a handler to log to the console, and if a file has been specified it sets up a handler to log to the file. Finally a message is logged at the INFO level to indicate that the logging has been started.
