Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SyslogAppender::SyslogAppender	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	syslogName,
		int	facility = `LOG_USER`
	)

Instantiate a SyslogAppender with given name and name and facility for syslog.

Note that the C syslog API is process global, so instantion of a second SyslogAppender will 'overwrite' the syslog name of the first.

Parameters:

name	The name of the Appender
syslogName	The ident parameter in the openlog(3) call.
facility	The syslog facility to log to. Defaults to LOG_USER.

virtual SyslogAppender::~SyslogAppender ( ) [virtual]

virtual void SyslogAppender::_append ( const LoggingEvent & event ) [protected, virtual]

Sends a LoggingEvent to syslog.

Parameters:

event the LoggingEvent to log.

virtual void SyslogAppender::close ( ) [virtual]

Calls closelog(3) to close the syslog file descriptor.

virtual void SyslogAppender::open ( ) [protected, virtual]

Calls openlog(3).

virtual bool SyslogAppender::reopen ( ) [virtual]

Calls closelog(3) and openlog(3).

Reimplemented from AppenderSkeleton.

static int SyslogAppender::toSyslogPriority ( Priority::Value priority ) [static]
