+NAME
+----
+tep_set_loglevel - Set log level of the library
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+enum *tep_loglevel* {
+	TEP_LOG_NONE = 0,
+	TEP_LOG_CRITICAL,
+	TEP_LOG_ERROR,
+	TEP_LOG_WARNING,
+	TEP_LOG_INFO,
+	TEP_LOG_DEBUG,
+	TEP_LOG_ALL
+};
+
+int *tep_set_loglevel*(enum tep_loglevel _level_);
+
+--
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The *tep_set_loglevel()* function sets the level of the library logs that will be printed
+on the console. Library log levels are:
+[verse]
+--
+	_TEP_LOG_NONE_ - Do not print any logs.
+	_TEP_LOG_CRITICAL_ - Print critical logs, problem that may cause a crash.
+	_TEP_LOG_ERROR_ - Print error logs, problem that could break the main logic of an API.
+	_TEP_LOG_WARNING_ - Print warnings, problem that could limit the result of an API.
+	_TEP_LOG_INFO_ - Print information about normal execution of an API.
+	_TEP_LOG_DEBUG_ - Print debug information.
+	_TEP_LOG_ALL_ - Print logs from all 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_.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+
+tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_ALL);
+...
+/* call libtraceevent APIs and observe any logs they produce */
+...
+tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_CRITICAL);
