<title>Macros</title>
<p>The following macros are defined:</p>

<item><c>?LOG_DEBUG(StringOrReport[,Metadata])</c></item>
<item><c>?LOG_DEBUG(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])</c></item>
</list>
<p>All macros expand to a call to logger, where <c>Level</c> is
taken from the macro name, and the following metadata is added,
or merged with the given <c>Metadata</c>:</p>
<code>
#{mfa=>{?MODULE,?FUNCTION_NAME,?FUNCTION_ARITY},
file=>?FILE,
line=>?LINE}
</code>
<p>The call is wrapped in a case statement and will be evaluated
only if <c>Level</c> is equal to or below the configured log
level.</p>
