This is because /// there is no reliable way to find out the real creation date of /// a file on many platforms (e.g., most Unix platforms do not /// provide the creation date, and Windows has its own issues /// with its "File System Tunneling Capabilities"). /// /// Using the "archive" property it is possible to specify /// how archived log files are named. The following values /// for the "archive" property are supported: /// /// * number: A number, starting with 0, is appended to /// the name of archived log files. The newest /// archived log file always has the number 0. /// For example, if the log file is named /// "access.log", and it fulfils the criteria /// for rotation, the file is renamed to /// "access.log.0". If a file named "access.log.0" /// already exists, it is renamed to "access.log.1", /// and so on. /// * timestamp: A timestamp is appended to the log file name. /// For example, if the log file is named /// "access.log", and it fulfils the criteria /// for rotation, the file is renamed to /// "access.log.20050802110300". /// /// Using the "times" property it is possible to specify /// time mode for the day/time based rotation. The following values /// for the "times" property are supported: /// /// * utc: Rotation strategy is based on UTC time (default). /// * local: Rotation strategy is based on local time. /// /// Archived log files can be compressed using the gzip compression /// method. Compressing can be controlled with the "compress" /// property. The following values for the "compress" property /// are supported: /// /// * true: Compress archived log files. /// * false: Do not compress archived log files. /// /// Archived log files can be automatically purged, either if /// they reach a certain age, or if the number of archived /// log files reaches a given maximum number. This is /// controlled by the purgeAge and purgeCount properties. /// /// The purgeAge property can have the following values: /// /// * [seconds]: the maximum age is seconds. /// * minutes: the maximum age is minutes. /// * hours: the maximum age is hours. /// * days: the maximum age is days. /// * weeks: the maximum age is weeks. /// * months: the maximum age is months, where a month has 30 days. /// /// The purgeCount property has an integer value that specifies the maximum number /// of archived log files. If the number is exceeded, archived log files are /// deleted, starting with the oldest. When "none" or empty string are /// supplied, they reset purgeCount to none (no purging). /// /// The flush property specifies whether each log message is flushed /// immediately to the log file (which may hurt application performance, /// but ensures that everything is in the log in case of a system crash), // or whether it's allowed to stay in the system's file buffer for some time. /// Valid values are: /// /// * true: Every essages is immediately flushed to the log file (default). /// * false: Messages are not immediately flushed to the log file. /// /// The rotateOnOpen property specifies whether an existing log file should be /// rotated (and archived) when the channel is opened. Valid values are: /// /// * true: The log file is rotated (and archived) when the channel is opened. /// * false: Log messages will be appended to an existing log file, /// if it exists (unless other conditions for a rotation are met). /// This is the default. /// /// For a more lightweight file channel class, see SimpleFileChannel. { public: FileChannel(); /// Creates the FileChannel.
