=head1 NAME
Log::Fine::Formatter - Log message formatting and sanitization
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Provides a formatting facility for log messages
use Log::Fine::Handle;
use Log::Fine::Formatter;
my $handle = Log::Fine::Handle::Console->new();
my $formatter = Log::Fine::Formatter::Detailed->new(
timestamp_format => "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
);
# by default, the handle will set its formatter to
# Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic. If that's not what you want, set
# it to preference.
$handle->formatter($formatter);
# set the time-stamp to "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
$formatter->timeStamp("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S");
# high resolution timestamps with milliseconds are
# supported thus:
my $hires_formatter =
Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new(
hires => 1,
timestamp_format => "%H:%M:%S.%%millis%%",
);
# Set the precision of the high resolution formatter
my $fmtr = Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new(
hires => 1,
timestamp_format => "%H:%M:%S.%%millis%%",
precision => 6
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Base ancestral class for all formatters. All customized formatters
must inherit from this class. The formatter class allows developers
to adjust the time-stamp in a log message to a customizable
strftime-compatible string without the tedious mucking about writing a
formatter sub-class. By default, the time-stamp format is "%c". See
L</timeStamp> and the L<strftime(3)> man page on your system for
further details.
=head2 High Resolution Timestamps
High Resolution time stamps are generated using the L<Time::HiRes>
module. Depending on your distribution of perl, this may or may not
be installed. Add the string "%%millis%%" (without the quotes) where
you would like milliseconds displayed within your format. For example:
$formatter->timeStamp("%H:%M:%S.%%millis%%");
Note you I<must> enable high resolution mode during Formatter
construction as so:
my $formatter = Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new( hires => 1 );
By default, the time-stamp format for high resolution mode is
"%H:%M:%S.%%millis%%". This can be changed via the L</timeStamp>
method or set during formatter construction. "%%millis%%" is a case
insensitive value, thus "%%MILLIS%%" will work as well as
"%%Millis%%".
=head3 Millisecond Precision
Millisecond precision can be set on construction as so:
my $formatter =
Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new( hires => 1,
precision => 6 );
If not set, the default value of 5 will be used. Note that the
precision hash element will be ignored unless hires is set.
=head2 Using Log format templates
As of version 0.37, Log::Fine now supports log format templates. See
L<Log::Fine::Formatter::Template> for details.
