+/**
+ * Logging backend interface.
+ *
+ * JSBSim routes each log record to an `FGLogger` instance instead of writing
+ * directly to stdout/stderr. Applications can keep the default `FGLogConsole`
+ * backend, or provide their own subclass and register it through
+ * `SetLogger(FGLogger_ptr)`.
+ *
+ * A single log record follows this lifecycle:
+ * 1. `SetLevel()` starts a new log record and gives the severity.
+ * 2. `FileLocation()` may be called (typically for XML-related messages),
+ *    immediately after `SetLevel()` and before message content.
+ * 3. `Message()` receives the textual payload. It can be invoked multiple times
+ *    for one logical record because JSBSim may build a message in fragments.
+ * 4. `Format()` communicates formatting intent (colors, emphasis, reset) for
+ *    the subsequent output. Implementations may ignore it if formatting is not
+ *    applicable.
+ * 5. `Flush()` ends the current log record and is the right place to finalize
+ *    and emit the record (for example: prefixing, buffering, forwarding to a
+ *    UI, or forcing output synchronization).
+ *
+ * Implementations are expected to keep enough internal state between these
+ * callbacks to assemble one coherent log record.
+ *
+ * \see SetLogger
+ * \see GetLogger
