Detailed Description

Implements appender writing to a file with file rotation support.

The events will be logged to a file until rotation occurs. At that moment the current file is closed, archive chain is moved, new file is created and logging continues there.

Member Function Documentation

constructor()

Logger::LoggerAppenderFileRotate::constructor	(	*string	name,
		LoggerLayout	layout,
		string	filename,
		int	count = DEFAULT_ROTATION_COUNT,
		string	archive = DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PATTERN,
		*string	encoding
	)

Creates the object.

Parameters

name	the name of the appender
layout	the layout for the appender
filename	with pattern support; see below for more information
count	number of files in rotation chain, if count is <=0 then no ratation is performed
archive	pattern to evaluate archive filename; see below for more information
encoding	the encoding of the output file

The following table explains the characters used in LoggerPattern for both filename and archive parameter

Conversion character	Meaning
%s	Used to output the OS directory separator, i.e. "\" or "/"
%c	Used to output the appender name
%C	Used to output the appender class name
%E	Used to output the environment variable with name given by option, e.g. "%E{HOME}"
%%	The literal percent sign. "%%" will print a "%" sign

The following table explains the characters used in LoggerPattern for archive parameter only

Conversion character	Meaning
%P	Used to output the current logging path with filename
%p	Used to output the current logging path
%f	Used to output the current logging filename
%i	Used to output the current file index from 1 to count. option may specify sprintf() format, e.g. "%.3d"
%n	Used to output the rotation count. Option may specify sprintf() format, e.g. "%.3d"

For example, the archive pattern "%p%f.%i" rotates log file "/var/run/log/MyLogger.log" to: "/var/run/log/MyLogger.log.1" "/var/run/log/MyLogger.log.2" "/var/run/log/MyLogger.log.3".

getArchiveFileName()

string Logger::LoggerAppenderFileRotate::getArchiveFileName

(

int

idx

)

Returns the archive filename.

Parameters

idx	the index of file (1..count)

processEventImpl()

Logger::LoggerAppenderFileRotate::processEventImpl ( int  type, auto  params  )

virtual

Implements filename rotation; handles the open and rotate events directly; passes all other events to the subclass for handling.

Parameters

type	the event type
params	event parameters

Reimplemented from Logger::LoggerAppenderFile.

resolveField()

*string Logger::LoggerAppenderFileRotate::resolveField ( auto  data, string  key, *string  option  )

privatevirtual

Returns a string for a format field for a pattern-based filename.

Parameters

data	input context reference data
key	the format character
option	the format option value, if any

Returns

the formatted string

Implements Logger::LoggerPattern.
