Crt Mori / Logger

Logger library enables you to use unified interface to send out or receive data using one function with different parameters. You leave buffer overflows to this library as it handles it all.

Logger library howto guide.

Below is a simple program that outlines the usage of the logger library, The whole function was head-written so there might be some errors, but it is more for a live representation of usage than anything else. If someone would write a nice example program feel free to link it here.
