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

class Category

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

Parameters

name The name of this Appender.

Destructor for Appender.

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

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

Call reopen() on all existing Appenders.

Returns

true if all Appenders returned true on their reopen() call.

Log in Appender specific way.

Parameters

event The LoggingEvent to log.

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

Get a pointer to an exitsing Appender.

Parameters

name The name of the Appender to return.

Returns

a pointer to an existing Appender, or NULL if no appender with the specfied name exists.

Get the Filter for this appender.

Returns

the filter, or NULL if no filter has been set.

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

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

Returns

the name of the appender.

Get the threshold priority of this Appender.

Returns

the threshold

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

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

Returns

false if an error occured during reopening, true otherwise.

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

Call reopen() on all existing Appenders.

Returns

true if all Appenders returned true on their reopen() call.

Check if the appender uses a layout.

Returns

true if the appender implementation requires a layout.

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

Set a Filter for this appender.

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

Set the Layout for this appender.

Parameters

layout The layout to use.

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

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

priority The priority to set.

Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.
