 *
 * \brief  An example of logging into Windows event log.
 *
 * The example shows the basic usage of the Windows NT event log backend.
 * The code defines custom severity levels, initializes the sink and a couple of
 * attributes to test with, and writes several records at different levels.
 * As a result the written records should appear in the Application log, and
 * should be displayed correctly with the Windows event log viewer.
