The default log handler set up by GLib; set_default_handler allows to install an alternate default log handler.
This is used if no log handler has been set for the particular log domain and log level combination. It outputs the message to stderr or
stdout and if the log level is fatal it calls abort. It automatically prints a
new-line character after the message, so one does not need to be manually included in message
.
The behavior of this log handler can be influenced by a number of environment variables:
stderr is used for levels g_log_level_error, g_log_level_critical, g_log_level_warning and g_log_level_message. stdout is used for the rest.
