Protected Member Functions¶

Appender (const std::string &name)
Constructor for Appender.

log4cpp::Appender::Appender (const std::string & name) [protected]¶

Constructor for Appender. Will only be used in getAppender() (and in derived classes of course).

Parameters:

log4cpp::Appender::~Appender () [virtual]¶

Destructor for Appender.

virtual void log4cpp::Appender::close () [pure virtual]¶

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

Implemented in log4cpp::AbortAppender, log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton, log4cpp::BufferingAppender, log4cpp::FileAppender, log4cpp::IdsaAppender, log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender, log4cpp::OstreamAppender, log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender, log4cpp::StringQueueAppender, log4cpp::SyslogAppender, and log4cpp::Win32DebugAppender.

void log4cpp::Appender::closeAll () [static]¶

Call reopen() on all existing Appenders. Returns:

virtual void log4cpp::Appender::doAppend (const LoggingEvent & event) [pure virtual]¶

Log in Appender specific way. Parameters:

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

Appender * log4cpp::Appender::getAppender (const std::string & name) [static]¶

Get a pointer to an exitsing Appender. Parameters:

Returns:

virtual Filter* log4cpp::Appender::getFilter () [pure virtual]¶

Get the Filter for this appender. Returns:

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

const std::string& log4cpp::Appender::getName () const [inline]¶

Get the name of this appender. The name identifies the appender.

Returns:

virtual Priority::Value log4cpp::Appender::getThreshold () [pure virtual]¶

Get the threshold priority of this Appender. Returns:

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

virtual bool log4cpp::Appender::reopen () [pure virtual]¶

Reopens the output destination of this Appender, e.g. the logfile or TCP socket.

Returns:

Implemented in log4cpp::AbortAppender, log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton, log4cpp::FileAppender, log4cpp::IdsaAppender, log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender, log4cpp::OstreamAppender, log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender, log4cpp::StringQueueAppender, and log4cpp::SyslogAppender.

bool log4cpp::Appender::reopenAll () [static]¶

Call reopen() on all existing Appenders. Returns:

virtual bool log4cpp::Appender::requiresLayout () const [pure virtual]¶

Check if the appender uses a layout. Returns:

Implemented in log4cpp::AbortAppender, log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton, log4cpp::IdsaAppender, log4cpp::LayoutAppender, and log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender.

virtual void log4cpp::Appender::setFilter (Filter * filter) [pure virtual]¶

Set a Filter for this appender.

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

virtual void log4cpp::Appender::setLayout (Layout * layout) [pure virtual]¶

Set the Layout for this appender. Parameters:

Implemented in log4cpp::AbortAppender, log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton, log4cpp::IdsaAppender, log4cpp::LayoutAppender, and log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender.

virtual void log4cpp::Appender::setThreshold (Priority::Value priority) [pure virtual]¶

Set the threshold priority of this Appender. The Appender will not appender LoggingEvents with a priority lower than the threshold. Use Priority::NOTSET to disable threshold checking.

Parameters:

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.
