+NAME
+----
+tracefs_set_loglevel - Set log level of the library
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <tracefs.h>*
+
+int *tracefs_set_loglevel*(enum tep_loglevel _level_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tracefs_set_loglevel()_ function sets the level of the library logs that will be printed on
+the console. See _libtraceevent(3)_ for detailed desciription of the log levels. Setting the log
+level to specific value means that logs from the previous levels will be printed too. For example
+_TEP_LOG_WARNING_ will print any logs with severity _TEP_LOG_WARNING_, _TEP_LOG_ERROR_ and
+_TEP_LOG_CRITICAL_. The default log level is _TEP_LOG_CRITICAL_. When a new level is set, it is
+also propagated to the libtraceevent.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <tracefs.h>
+
+tracefs_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_ALL);
+...
+/* call libtracefs or libtraceevent APIs and observe any logs they produce */
+...
+tracefs_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_CRITICAL);
