//! # tracing-journald
//!
//! Support for logging [`tracing`] events natively to [journald],
//! preserving structured information.
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! [`tracing`] is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
//! scoped, structured, and async-aware diagnostics. `tracing-journald` provides a
//! [`tracing-subscriber::Subscriber`][subscriber] implementation for logging `tracing` spans
//! and events to [`systemd-journald`][journald], on Linux distributions that
//! use `systemd`.
//!
//! *Compiler support: [requires `rustc` 1.63+][msrv]*
//!
//! [msrv]: #supported-rust-versions
//! [`tracing`]: https://crates.io/crates/tracing
//! [subscriber]: tracing_subscriber::subscribe::Subscribe
//! [journald]: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html
//!
//! ## Supported Rust Versions
//!
//! Tracing is built against the latest stable release. The minimum supported
//! version is 1.63. The current Tracing version is not guaranteed to build on
//! Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.
//!
//! Tracing follows the same compiler support policies as the rest of the Tokio
//! project. The current stable Rust compiler and the three most recent minor
//! versions before it will always be supported. For example, if the current
//! stable compiler version is 1.69, the minimum supported version will not be
//! increased past 1.66, three minor versions prior. Increasing the minimum
//! supported compiler version is not considered a semver breaking change as
//! long as doing so complies with this policy.
//!

/// Sends events and their fields to journald
///
/// [journald conventions] for structured field names differ from typical tracing idioms, and journald
/// discards fields which violate its conventions. Hence, this subscriber automatically sanitizes field
/// names by translating `.`s into `_`s, stripping leading `_`s and non-ascii-alphanumeric
/// characters other than `_`, and upcasing.
///
/// By default, levels are mapped losslessly to journald `PRIORITY` values as follows:
///
/// - `ERROR` => Error (3)
/// - `WARN` => Warning (4)
/// - `INFO` => Notice (5)
/// - `DEBUG` => Informational (6)
/// - `TRACE` => Debug (7)
///
/// These mappings can be changed with [`Subscriber::with_priority_mappings`].
///
/// The standard journald `CODE_LINE` and `CODE_FILE` fields are automatically emitted. A `TARGET`
/// field is emitted containing the event's target.
///
/// For events recorded inside spans, an additional `SPAN_NAME` field is emitted with the name of
/// each of the event's parent spans.
///
/// User-defined fields other than the event `message` field have a prefix applied by default to
/// prevent collision with standard fields.
