# Console module

Added in version 4.2.0.

The Console module allows you to log information during condition execution. By default, the log messages are sent to stdout but can be handled differently by using the C api (Scanning data).

Every function in the console module returns true for the purposes of condition evaluation. This means you must logically and your statements together to get the proper output. For example:

    import "console"

    rule example
    {
        condition:
            console.log("Hello") and console.log("World!")
    }

log(string)

  Function which sends the string to the main callback.

  Example: console.log(pe.imphash())

log(message, string)

  Function which sends the message and string to the main callback.

  Example: console.log("The imphash is: ", pe.imphash())

log(integer)

  Function which sends the integer to the main callback.

  Example: console.log(uint32(0))

log(message, integer)

  Function which sends the message and integer to the main callback.

  Example: console.log("32bits at 0: ", uint32(0))

log(float)

  Function which sends the floating point value to the main callback.

  Example: console.log(math.entropy(0, filesize))

log(message, float)

  Function which sends the message and the floating point value to the main callback.

  Example: console.log("Entropy: ", math.entropy(0, filesize))

hex(integer)

  Function which sends the integer to the main callback, formatted as a hex string.

  Example: console.hex(uint32(0))

hex(message, integer)

  Function which sends the integer to the main callback, formatted as a hex string.

  Example: console.hex("Hex at 0: ", uint32(0))
