Constructor & Destructor Documentation

log4cpp::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.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::_append (  const LoggingEvent &    event )  [protected, virtual]

Sends a LoggingEvent to syslog. Parameters: event  the LoggingEvent to log. Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::close (    )  [virtual]

Calls closelog(3) to close the syslog file descriptor. Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::open (    )  [protected, virtual]

Calls openlog(3).

virtual bool log4cpp::SyslogAppender::reopen (    )  [virtual]

Calls closelog(3) and openlog(3). Reimplemented from log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

int log4cpp::SyslogAppender::toSyslogPriority (  Priority::Value    priority )  [static]
