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

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

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

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.

Implements log4cplus::Appender.

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

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.

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

Returns

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.

virtual void log4cplus::FileAppenderBase::open (std::ios_base::openmode mode) [protected], [virtual]

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.

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.

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.
