No, it's not. Having one way of doing things is good, proliferation of
APIs is not a good thing. Either way you require application to write
some additional code. Doing simple vprintf-based (or whatever
application is using to print logs, which libbpf shouldn't care
about!) function with single if is not hard and is not cumbersome. If
you care about helping users to be less confused on how to do that, I
think it would be a good idea to have some sort of libbpf-specific FAQ
with code samples on how to achieve typical and common stuff, like
this one. So please instead consider doing that.
