# optimbase_log

Prints the given message.

## Calling Sequence

                opt = optimbase_log(opt, msg)

## Argument

opt

  The object of TOPTIM type (tlist).

msg

  A string. The message to print.

## Description

The `optimbase_log` function prints the given message in the console, if verbose logging is enabled. If verbose logging is disabled, does nothing. If the `-logfile` option has been set, writes the message into the file instead of writing to the console. If the console is too slow, writing into a file can be a solution, since it is very fast.

## Example

        opt = optimbase_new ();
        opt = optimbase_configure(opt, "-verbose", 1);
        optimbase_log ( opt , "My message" );
        opt = optimbase_destroy(opt);

        // Writes the message into the file
        opt = optimbase_new ();
        opt = optimbase_configure(opt, "-verbose", 1);
        opt = optimbase_configure(opt,"-logfile",fullfile(TMPDIR,"mylogfile.txt"));
        myFile = optimbase_cget(opt,"-logfile")
        optimbase_log ( opt , "My message" );
        opt = optimbase_destroy(opt)

        fd = mopen( fullfile(TMPDIR,"mylogfile.txt") , "r" );
        mgetl ( fd , 2 )
