Detailed Description

Base class for Appenders writing log events to a file.

It is constructed with uninitialized file object, so all classes derived from FileAppenderBase must call init() method.

Properties

File

This property specifies output file name.

ImmediateFlush

When it is set true, output stream will be flushed after each appended event.

Append

When it is set true, output file will be appended to instead of being truncated at opening.

ReopenDelay

This property sets a delay after which the appender will try to reopen log file again, after last logging failure.

BufferSize

Non-zero value of this property sets up buffering of output stream using a buffer of given size.

UseLockFile

Set this property to true if you want your output to go into a log file shared by multiple processes. When this property is set to true then log4cplus uses OS specific facilities (e.g., lockf()) to provide inter-process file locking.

See also: Appender

LockFile

This property specifies lock file, file used for inter-process synchronization of log file access. When this property is not specified, the value is derived from File property by addition of ".lock" suffix. The property is only used when UseLockFile is set to true.

See also: Appender

Locale

This property specifies a locale name that will be imbued into output stream. Locale can be specified either by system specific locale name, e.g., en_US.UTF-8, or by one of four recognized keywords: GLOBAL, DEFAULT (which is an alias for GLOBAL), USER and CLASSIC. When specified locale is not available, GLOBAL is used instead. It is possible to register additional locale keywords by registering an instance of spi::LocaleFactory in spi::LocaleFactoryRegistry.

See also: spi::getLocaleFactoryRegistry()

CreateDirs

Set this property to true if you want to create missing directories in path leading to log file and lock file.

TextMode

Set this property to Binary if the underlying stream should not translate EOLs to OS specific character sequence. The default value is Text and the underlying stream will be opened in text mode.

Member Function Documentation

◆ append()

virtual void log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::append ( const spi::InternalLoggingEvent & event )

protectedvirtual

Subclasses of Appender should implement this method to perform actual logging.

See also: doAppend method.

Implements log4cplus::Appender.

Reimplemented in log4cplus::TimeBasedRollingFileAppender, log4cplus::DailyRollingFileAppender, and log4cplus::RollingFileAppender.

◆ close()

virtual void log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::close ( )

virtual

Release any resources allocated within the appender such as file handles, network connections, etc.

It is a programming error to append to a closed appender.

Implements log4cplus::Appender.

Reimplemented in log4cplus::TimeBasedRollingFileAppender, and log4cplus::DailyRollingFileAppender.

◆ getloc()

virtual std::locale log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::getloc ( ) const

virtual

Returns: Locale imbued in fstream.

◆ imbue()

virtual std::locale log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::imbue ( std::locale const & loc )

virtual

Redefine default locale for output stream.

It may be a good idea to provide UTF-8 locale in case UNICODE macro is defined.

◆ init()

void log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::init ( )

protected

◆ open()

virtual void log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::open ( std::ios_base::openmode mode )

protectedvirtual

Reimplemented in log4cplus::TimeBasedRollingFileAppender.

◆ reopen()

bool log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::reopen ( )

protected

◆ bufferSize

unsigned long log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::bufferSize

protected

Definition at line 177 of file fileappender.h.

◆ createDirs

bool log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::createDirs

protected

When this variable is true, FileAppender will try to create missing directories in path leading to log file.

The createDirs variable is set to false by default.

Definition at line 166 of file fileappender.h.

◆ filename

log4cplus::tstring log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::filename

protected

Definition at line 181 of file fileappender.h.

◆ fileOpenMode

std::ios_base::openmode log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::fileOpenMode

protected

Definition at line 184 of file fileappender.h.

◆ immediateFlush

bool log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::immediateFlush

protected

Immediate flush means that the underlying writer or output stream will be flushed at the end of each append operation.

Immediate flush is slower but ensures that each append request is actually written. If immediateFlush is set to false, then there is a good chance that the last few logs events are not actually written to persistent media if and when the application crashes.

The immediateFlush variable is set to true by default.

Definition at line 158 of file fileappender.h.

◆ localeName

log4cplus::tstring log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::localeName

protected

Definition at line 182 of file fileappender.h.

◆ lockFileName

◆ reopen_time

log4cplus::helpers::Time log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::reopen_time

protected

Definition at line 186 of file fileappender.h.

◆ reopenDelay

int log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::reopenDelay

protected

When any append operation fails, reopenDelay says for how many seconds the next attempt to re-open the log file and resume logging will be delayed.

If reopenDelay is zero, each failed append operation will cause log file to be re-opened. By default, reopenDelay is 1 second.
