turn off logging in golang

To turn off logging in Go, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Import the "log" package: go import "log"

  2. Disable the default logger by assigning it to the "log.New()" function with the "log.LstdFlags" flag set to 0: go log.SetOutput(log.New(ioutil.Discard, "", 0))

The "ioutil.Discard" is an output writer that discards all the logs, and setting the flag to 0 removes the default timestamp and flags in the log messages.

  1. Optionally, you can create a custom logger to handle the logs instead of discarding them: go customLogger := log.New(os.Stdout, "Custom Logger: ", log.Ldate|log.Ltime) log.SetOutput(customLogger.Writer())

In this case, the logs will be redirected to the "os.Stdout" output, and you can customize the format of the logs as per your requirements.

These steps will effectively turn off logging in Go.
