Detailed Description

Implement this interface for your own strategies for printing log statements.

Todo:
the appender interface needs a better configuration system depending on the layout type. The udata field is a just a trick.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define log4c_appender_type_define (   a_type)

Helper macro to define static appender types.

Parameters
a_typethe log4c_appender_type_t object to define
Warning
needs GCC support: otherwise this macro does nothing
Deprecated:
This macro, and the static initialialization of appenders in general, is deprecated. Use rather the log4c_appender_type_set() function to initialize your appenders before calling log4c_init()

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct __log4c_appender log4c_appender_t

log4c appender class

Attributes description:

  • name appender type name

Function Documentation

int log4c_appender_append ( log4c_appender_t this,
log4c_logging_event_t a_event 
)

log in appender specific way.

Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender object
a_eventthe log4c_logging_event_t object to log.
Bug:
is this the right place to open an appender ?
int log4c_appender_close ( log4c_appender_t a_appender)

closes the appender

Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
Returns
zero if successful, -1 otherwise
void log4c_appender_delete ( log4c_appender_t a_appender)

Destructor for log4c_appender_t.

log4c_appender_t* log4c_appender_get ( const char *  a_name)

Get a pointer to an existing appender.

Parameters
a_namethe name of the appender to return.
Returns
a pointer to an existing appender, or NULL if no appender with the specfied name exists.
const log4c_layout_t* log4c_appender_get_layout ( const log4c_appender_t a_appender)
Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
Returns
the appender layout
const char* log4c_appender_get_name ( const log4c_appender_t a_appender)
Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
Returns
the appender name
const log4c_appender_type_t* log4c_appender_get_type ( const log4c_appender_t a_appender)
Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
Returns
the appender operations
void* log4c_appender_get_udata ( const log4c_appender_t a_appender)
Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
Returns
the appender user data
log4c_appender_t* log4c_appender_new ( const char *  a_name)

Constructor for log4c_appender_t.

int log4c_appender_open ( log4c_appender_t a_appender)

opens the appender.

Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
void log4c_appender_print ( const log4c_appender_t a_appender,
FILE *  a_stream 
)

prints the appender on a stream

Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
a_streamthe stream
const log4c_layout_t* log4c_appender_set_layout ( log4c_appender_t a_appender,
const log4c_layout_t a_layout 
)

sets the appender layout

Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
a_layoutthe new appender layout
Returns
the previous appender layout
const log4c_appender_type_t* log4c_appender_set_type ( log4c_appender_t a_appender,
const log4c_appender_type_t a_type 
)

sets the appender type

Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
a_typethe new appender type
Returns
the previous appender type
void* log4c_appender_set_udata ( log4c_appender_t a_appender,
void *  a_udata 
)

sets the appender user data

Parameters
a_appenderthe log4c_appender_t object
a_udatathe new appender user data
Returns
the previous appender user data
const log4c_appender_type_t* log4c_appender_type_get ( const char *  a_name)

Get a pointer to an existing appender type.

Parameters
a_namethe name of the appender type to return.
Returns
a pointer to an existing appender type, or NULL if no appender type with the specified name exists.
const log4c_appender_type_t* log4c_appender_type_set ( const log4c_appender_type_t a_type)

Use this function to register an appender type with log4c. Once this is done you may refer to this type by name both programmatically and in the log4c configuration file.

Parameters
a_typea pointer to the new appender type to set.
Returns
a pointer to the previous appender type of same name.

Example code fragment:
