Badger::Log::File - writes log messages to a log file
use Badger::Log::File; my $log = Badger::Log::File->new({ filename => '/var/log/badger.log', keep_open => 1, }); $log->log('a debug message'); $log->info('an info message'); $log->warn('a warning message'); $log->error('an error message'); $log->fatal('a fatal error message');
This module is a subclass of Badger::Log that implements a simple mechanism for logging messages to a file. It uses Badger::Filesystem for all the underlying file operations.
The following configuration options are available in addition to those inherited form the Badger::Log base class.
The name of the log file which you want messages appended to. This parameter is mandatory.
An optional reference to a Badger::Filesystem object, or the name of a filesystem class having a file() method similar to that in Badger::Filesystem. This defaults to the Badger::Filesystem class.
A flag indicating if the log file should be kept open between calls to logging methods. The default value is 0 meaning that the file will be opened for each message and closed again afterwards. Set it to any true value to have the file kept open.
0
The following methods are implemented in addition to those inherited from Badger::Log and its base classes.
This method redefines the log() method in Badger::Log to write logging messages to the log file.
Custom initialiser method which calls the base class init_log() method followed by the init_file() method.
Custom initialiser method which handles the configuration and initialisation of the file-specific parts of the logger.
This method acquires a file handle (an IO::File object) for the specified filename, opened ready for appending log messages.
The method releases a previously acquired file handle. i.e. it closes the log file.
