# private

The standard option to always redact the interpolated value.

## Declaration

```swift
static var `private`: OSLogPrivacy { get }
```

## Mentioned in

Generating Log Messages from Your Code

## Discussion

Discussion When it redacts a value, the system displays a generic string in place of the value. If you want to correlate log messages that contain the same value, use the private(mask:) function to create a structure with the OSLogPrivacy.Mask.hash mask.
