class Foundation_API FileChannel: public Channel
/// A Channel that writes to a file. This class supports
/// flexible log file rotation and archiving, as well
/// as automatic purging of archived log files.
///
/// Only the message's text is written, followed
/// by a newline.
///
/// Chain this channel to a FormattingChannel with an
/// appropriate Formatter to control what is in the text.
///
/// The FileChannel support log file rotation based
/// on log file size or time intervals.
/// Archived log files can be compressed in gzip format.
/// Older archived files can be automatically deleted
/// (purged).
///
/// The rotation strategy can be specified with the
/// "rotation" property, which can take one of the
/// following values:
///
/// * never: no log rotation
/// * [day,][hh]:mm: the file is rotated on specified day/time
/// day - day is specified as long or short day name (Monday|Mon, Tuesday|Tue, ... );
/// day can be omitted, in which case log is rotated every day
/// hh - valid hour range is 00-23;
/// hour can be omitted, in which case log is rotated every hour
/// mm - valid minute range is 00-59;
/// minute must be specified
/// * daily: the file is rotated daily
/// * weekly: the file is rotated every seven days
/// * monthly: the file is rotated every 30 days
/// * <n> minutes: the file is rotated every <n> minutes,
/// where <n> is an integer greater than zero.
/// * <n> hours: the file is rotated every <n> hours, where
/// <n> is an integer greater than zero.
/// * <n> days: the file is rotated every <n> days, where
/// <n> is an integer greater than zero.
/// * <n> weeks: the file is rotated every <n> weeks, where
/// <n> is an integer greater than zero.
/// * <n> months: the file is rotated every <n> months, where
/// <n> is an integer greater than zero and
/// a month has 30 days.
/// * <n>: the file is rotated when its size exceeds
/// <n> bytes.
/// * <n> K: the file is rotated when its size exceeds
/// <n> Kilobytes.
/// * <n> M: the file is rotated when its size exceeds
/// <n> Megabytes.
///
/// NOTE: For periodic log file rotation (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.),
/// the date and time of log file creation or last rotation is
/// written into the first line of the log file. 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:
///
/// * <n> [seconds]: the maximum age is <n> seconds.
/// * <n> minutes: the maximum age is <n> minutes.
/// * <n> hours: the maximum age is <n> hours.
/// * <n> days: the maximum age is <n> days.
/// * <n> weeks: the maximum age is <n> weeks.
/// * <n> months: the maximum age is <n> 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 message 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.
