Detailed Description

       Log4c rolling policy interface. Defines the interface for managing and providing rolling
       policies.

       A rolling policy is used to confogure a rollingfile appender to tell it when to trigger a
       rolover event.

Macro Definition Documentation

   #define ROLLINGPOLICY_ROLLOVER_ERR_CAN_LOG   0x05
       Effect a rollover according to policyp on the given file stream.

       Parameters
           policyp pointer to the rolling policy
           fp filestream to rollover.

       Returns
           zero if successful, non-zero otherwise. The policy can return an indication that
           something went wrong but that the rollingfile appender can stull go ahead and log by
           returning an error code <= ROLLINGPOLICY_ROLLOVER_ERR_CAN_LOG. Anything greater than
           means that the rolling file appender will not try to log it's message.

Typedef Documentation

   typedef struct __log4c_rollingpolicy log4c_rollingpolicy_t
       log4c rollingpolicy type

   typedef struct log4c_rollingpolicy_type log4c_rollingpolicy_type_t
       log4c rollingpolicy type. Defines the interface a specific policy must provide to the
       rollingfile appender. Attributes description:

       •
        name rollingpolicy type name
       •
        init() init the rollingpolicy

        rollover()

Function Documentation

   int log4c_rollingpolicy_fini (log4c_rollingpolicy_t * policyp)
       Call the un initialization code of a rolling policy. This will call the fini routine of
       the particular rollingpolicy type to allow it to free up resources. If the call to fini in
       the rollingpolicy type fails then the rollingpolicy is not uninitialized. Try again later
       model...
       Parameters
           policyp pointer to the rolling policy
       Returns
           zero if successful, non-zero otherwise.
   log4c_rollingpolicy_t * log4c_rollingpolicy_get (const char * policy_name)
       Get a new rolling policy
       Parameters
           policy_name a name for the policy
       Returns
           a new rolling policy, otherwise NULL.
   rollingfile_udata_t * log4c_rollingpolicy_get_rfudata (const log4c_rollingpolicy_t * policyp)

       Get the rolling policy configuration.
       Parameters
           policyp pointer to the rolling policy
       Returns
           pointer to the rolling policy configuration.
   int log4c_rollingpolicy_init (log4c_rollingpolicy_t * policyp, rollingfile_udata_t * rfup)

       Parameters
           policyp pointer to the rolling policy
           rfup the rolling appender user data this policy is used with
       Returns

   int log4c_rollingpolicy_is_triggering_event (log4c_rollingpolicy_t * policyp, const
       log4c_logging_event_t * evtp, long current_file_size)
       Determine if a logging event should trigger a rollover according to the given policy.
       Parameters
           policyp pointer to the rolling policy
           evtp the logging event pointer.
           current_file_size the size of the current file being logged to.
       Returns
           non-zero if rollover required, zero otherwise.
   const log4c_rollingpolicy_type_t * log4c_rollingpolicy_set_type (log4c_rollingpolicy_t *
       a_rollingpolicy, const log4c_rollingpolicy_type_t * a_type)
       sets the rolling policy type
       Parameters
           a_rollingpolicy the log4c_rollingpolicy_t object
           a_type the new rollingpolicy type
       Returns
           the previous appender type
   void log4c_rollingpolicy_set_udata (log4c_rollingpolicy_t * policyp, void * udatap)
       Configure a rolling policy with a specific policy.
       Parameters
           policyp pointer to the rolling policy
           udatap a specific policy type, for example sizewin.
       Returns
           zero if successful, non-zero otherwise.
   const log4c_rollingpolicy_type_t * log4c_rollingpolicy_type_get (const char * a_name)
       Get a pointer to an existing rollingpolicy type.
       Parameters
           a_name the name of the rollingpolicy type to return.

       Returns
           a pointer to an existing rollingpolicy type, or NULL if no rollingpolicy type with the
           specified name exists.
   const log4c_rollingpolicy_type_t * log4c_rollingpolicy_type_set (const
       log4c_rollingpolicy_type_t * a_type)
       Use this function to register a rollingpolicy type with log4c. Once this is done you may
       refer to this type by name both programmatically and in the log4c configuration file.
       Parameters
           a_type a pointer to the new rollingpolicy type to register.
       Returns
           a pointer to the previous rollingpolicy type of same name.
       Example code fragment:
       const log4c_rollingpolicy_type_t log4c_rollingpolicy_type_sizewin = {
         "sizewin",
         sizewin_init,
         sizewin_is_triggering_event,
         sizewin_rollover
       };

       log4c_rollingpolicy_type_set(&log4c_rollingpolicy_type_sizewin);
