Description
The sc_fatal utility function unifies logging between engines and spacecraft,
creating a single log file that spans all engines.
Fatals are printed to stderr in red, logged and counted as errors, and
processing halts. Fatals are typically a result of a system failure, such
as file system and memory system issues.
Example
engine.pl:
&sc_fatal("Out of %s","disk space");
stderr:
** FATAL: Out of disk space.
logfile:
** FATAL: Out of disk space.
