  - format
```
public String format(LogRecord lr)
```
    The standard formatter uses a horrible multiline approach. A single line message is far more readable (and easier to post-process). Java 7 supports a (completely cryptic) format string, but we cook our own food here...

  - init

public static void init(String filename)
```
    Initialize logging by attaching this formatter to the root logger. If logs don't need to be written out, pass a null filename
