<h2>Rolling File appender</h2>
<p>The rolling file appender can be used to write log messages to a file. It
uses Lua I/O routines to do its job. The rolling file appender rolls over the logfile
once it has reached a certain size limit. It also mantains a maximum number of log files.</p>
<pre class="example">
function logging.rolling_file {
[filename = <i>string</i>,]
maxFileSize = <i>number</i>,
[maxBackupIndex = <i>number</i>,]
[logPattern = <i>string</i>,]
[logPatterns = {
[logging.DEBUG = <i>string</i>,]
[logging.INFO = <i>string</i>,]
[logging.WARN = <i>string</i>,]
[logging.ERROR = <i>string</i>,]
[logging.FATAL = <i>string</i>,]
},]
[timestampPattern = <i>string</i>,]
[logLevel = <i>log-level-constant</i>,]
}
</pre>
<ul>
<li><code>filename</code>:<br />
The name of the file to be written to.<br />
If the file cannot be opened for appending the logging request
returns nil and an error message.<br />
The default value is <code>"lualogging.log"</code>.</li>
<li><code>maxFileSize</code>:<br />
The max size of the file in bytes. Every time the file reaches this size
it will rollover, generating a new clean log file and storing the old log
on a filename.n, where n goes from 1 to the configured maxBackupIndex.<br />
The more recent backup is the one with the lowest n on its filename.<br />
Eg. test.log.1 (most recent backup) <br />
test.log.2 (least recent backup)
</li>
<li><code>maxBackupIndex</code>:<br />
The number of backup files that will be generated.
The default value is <code>1</code>.</li>
<li><code>logPatterns</code>:<br />
A table with logPattern strings indexed by the log-levels.
A logPattern specifies how the message is written.<br />
If this parameter is omitted, a patterns table will be created with the
parameter <code>logPattern</code> as the default value for each log-level.
If <code>logPattern</code> also is omitted then each level will fall back to
the current default setting, see <code>logging.defaultLogPatterns</code>.
</li>
<li><code>logPattern</code>:<br />
This value will be used as the default value for each log-level that was
omitted in <code>logPatterns</code>.
</li>
<li><code>timestampPattern</code>:<br />
This is an optional parameter that can be used to specify a date/time formatting
in the log message.
See <code>logging.date</code> for the format.
The default is taken from <code>logging.defaultTimestampPattern()</code>.</li>
<li><code>logLevel</code>:<br />
The initial log-level to set for the created logger.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Example</h2>
<pre class="example">
require"logging.rolling_file"
local logger = logging.rolling_file {
filename = "test.log",
maxFileSize = 1024,
maxBackupIndex = 5,
}
logger:info("logging.rolling_file test")
logger:debug("debugging...")
logger:error("error!")
