logging metadata information of processing (#21)

1. Added stdout message to be processed by invoking utility.
2. Better error handling mechanism and subsequently logging the error
situation for given file on stout.

Note: where messages are printed with `log` it will print it to
`stderr`. `fmt.println` and its other version will print the message to
`stdout`
