Description

doc/logging.md

  • INPUT, NOTE starts writing output on column 0 (beginning of line)
  • Both STATUS ( >>) and STATUS_OK ( OK) start output at column 1.
    • STATUS should continue outputting at column 1 (informing of action that will be done)
    • STATUS_OK should output at column 4 (so eye can clearly see STATUS and STATUS_OK coupled)

IE currently

 >> Will start doing X to obtain Y 
 OK Y obtained

Should become (indent output) or similar

 >> Will start doing X to obtain Y 
    OK Y obtained

TODO

  • Update doc/logging.md
  • Update etc/functions.sh

Research direction

Read the STATUS and STATUS_OK definitions in etc/functions.sh, then compare their current output with the examples in doc/logging.md. Update both files so STATUS_OK is visibly indented relative to STATUS, and verify the documentation matches the resulting columns.
