+//! # Example
+//!
+//! Using the file logger.
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! use iceoryx2_bb_log::{info, set_logger, set_log_level, LogLevel, logger::file};
+//! use std::sync::LazyLock;
+//!
+//! const LOG_FILE: &str = "fuu.log";
+//! static FILE_LOGGER: LazyLock<file::Logger> = LazyLock::new(|| file::Logger::new(LOG_FILE));
+//! set_logger(&*FILE_LOGGER);
+//! set_log_level(LogLevel::Trace);
+//!
+//! // written into log file "fuu.log"
+//! info!("hello world");
+//! ```
+
+// TODO: [Reminder to my future self]
+// In the long-term the file logger may be required to be based on the same
+// iceoryx2_pal_posix platform. In this case, the logger needs to use the low-level calls directly
+// to avoid a circular dependency with iceoryx2_bb_posix.
