NAME
       Paranoid::Log::File - File Logging Functions


VERSION
       $Id: File.pm,v 0.83 2010/04/15 23:23:28 acorliss Exp $


SYNOPSIS
         use Paranoid::Log;

         enableFacility('events', 'file', 'debug', '+', $filename);


DESCRIPTION
       This module logs messages to the log files, and is safe for use with forked children logging to the same
       files.  Each child will open their own filehandles and use advisory locking for writes.

       This module should not be used directly, Paranoid::Log should be your exclusive interface for logging.


SUBROUTINES/METHODS
       NOTE:  Given that this module is not intended to be used directly nothing is exported.

   init
   log
   remove
   dump

DEPENDENCIES
       o   Fcntl

       o   Paranoid::Debug

       o   Paranoid::Filesystem

       o   Paranoid::Input


SEE ALSO
       o   Paranoid::Log


BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
       This isn't a high performance module when dealing with a high logging rate with high concurrency.  This
       is due to the advisory locking requirement and the seeks to the end of the file with every message.  This
       facility is intended as a kind of lowest-common demoninator for programs that need some kind of logging
       capability.
