[Ovmsdev] access to writer?

[Michael Balzer]

The short answer is: you can't.

There is no "current" writer. If a function may need to output text to a 
writer, you need to pass the writer pointer to that function.

In case of functions that may be called within a user command execution 
and shall then provide output, add the writer to the signature, and only 
use it when it's not null. If the output is important, send it to the 
log if the writer is null.

If you need to reduce the output for certain output channels, you'll 
also want to pass the "verbosity" parameter along with the writer pointer.

Regards,
Michael
