## Overview
[`tracing`] is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate defines the core
primitives of `tracing`.
The crate provides:
* [`span::Id`] identifies a span within the execution of a program.
* [`Event`] represents a single event within a trace.
* [`Subscriber`], the trait implemented to collect trace data.
* [`Metadata`] and [`Callsite`] provide information describing spans and
events.
* [`Field`], [`FieldSet`], [`Value`], and [`ValueSet`] represent the
structured data attached to spans and events.
* [`Dispatch`] allows spans and events to be dispatched to `Subscriber`s.
In addition, it defines the global callsite registry and per-thread current
dispatcher which other components of the tracing system rely on.
## Usage
Application authors will typically not use this crate directly. Instead, they
will use the [`tracing`] crate, which provides a much more fully-featured
API. However, this crate's API will change very infrequently, so it may be used
when dependencies must be very stable.
`Subscriber` implementations may depend on `tracing-core` rather than `tracing`,
as the additional APIs provided by `tracing` are primarily useful for
instrumenting libraries and applications, and are generally not necessary for
`Subscriber` implementations.
### Crate Feature Flags
The following crate feature flags are available:
* `std`: Depend on the Rust standard library (enabled by default).
`no_std` users may disable this feature with `default-features = false`:
```toml
[dependencies]
tracing-core = { version = "0.1.10", default-features = false }
```
*Compiler support: requires rustc 1.39+*
**Note**:`tracing-core`'s `no_std` support requires `liballoc`.
