# ABSTRACT: Object for logging to files
__END__

=encoding UTF-8
=head1 NAME
Log::Dispatch::File - Object for logging to files
=head1 VERSION
version 2.71
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Log::Dispatch;
my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
outputs => [
[
'File',
min_level => 'info',
filename => 'Somefile.log',
mode => '>>',
newline => 1
]
],
);
$log->emerg("I've fallen and I can't get up");
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple object for logging to files under the
Log::Dispatch::* system.
Note that a newline will I<not> be added automatically at the end of a message
by default. To do that, pass C<< newline => 1 >>.
B<NOTE:> If you are writing to a single log file from multiple processes, the
log output may become interleaved and garbled. Use the
L<Log::Dispatch::File::Locked> output instead, which allows multiple processes
to safely share a single file.
=for Pod::Coverage new log_message
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard
parameters documented in L<Log::Dispatch::Output>:
=over 4
=item * filename ($)
The filename to be opened for writing.
=item * mode ($)
The mode the file should be opened with. Valid options are 'write', '>',
'append', '>>', or the relevant constants from Fcntl. The default is 'write'.
=item * binmode ($)
A layer name to be passed to binmode, like ":encoding(UTF-8)" or ":raw".
=item * close_after_write ($)
Whether or not the file should be closed after each write. This defaults to
false.
If this is true, then the mode will always be append, so that the file is not
re-written for each new message.
=item * lazy_open ($)
Whether or not the file should be opened only on first write. This defaults to
false.
=item * autoflush ($)
Whether or not the file should be autoflushed. This defaults to true.
=item * syswrite ($)
Whether or not to perform the write using L<perlfunc/syswrite>(), as opposed to
L<perlfunc/print>(). This defaults to false. The usual caveats and warnings as
documented in L<perlfunc/syswrite> apply.
=item * permissions ($)
If the file does not already exist, the permissions that it should be created
with. Optional. The argument passed must be a valid octal value, such as 0600
or the constants available from Fcntl, like S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR.
See L<perlfunc/chmod> for more on potential traps when passing octal values
around. Most importantly, remember that if you pass a string that looks like an
octal value, like this:
my $mode = '0644';
Then the resulting file will end up with permissions like this:
--w----r-T
which is probably not what you want.
