Overview

Loglan (an acronym for Logging Language) is Geolog’s log processing language and provides the Software
Development Kit for Geolog.
This help is a guide to writing programs in Loglan and is designed for Geolog users who wish to develop
their own modules for log processing and database access. It also describes Loglan functions which may be
used in expressions (e.g. tp_evaluate).
A C compiler must be available to develop programs using Loglan. See "System Requirements" in the
Introduction of the Geolog 7.0 Installation Guide for information regarding which C compiler is required on
each of the supported platforms. If compiling loglans which use the Geolog license library, a C++ compiler
must be used.
