NAME

Log::Fine::Handle - Controls where to send logging output

SYNOPSIS

Sets up an output handle for log messages

use Log::Fine;
use Log::Fine::Handle;

# instantiate the handle (default values shown)
my $handle = Log::Fine::Handle::Foo
    ->new( name      => "foo0",
           mask      => Log::Fine::Handle->DEFAULT_LOGMASK,
           formatter => Log::Fine::Formatter:Basic->new() );

# see if a handle is loggable at a given level
my $rc = $handle->isLoggable(INFO);

# write a message
$handle->msgWrite(INFO, "Informational message", 1);

DESCRIPTION

A Log::Fine::Handle object controls where to send formatted log messages. The destination can be a file, syslog, a database table, or simply to output. Message formatting is then handled by a formatter object.

METHODS

isLoggable($lvl)

Specifies whether the handle is loggable at the given level. Returns 1 if we can log, undef otherwise.

msgWrite($lvl, $msg, $skip)

Tells the handle to output the given log message. The third parameter, $skip, is passed to caller() for accurate method logging.

Note: msgWrite() is an internal method to the Log::Fine framework, meant to be sub-classed. Use "log($lvl, $msg)" in Log::Fine::Logger for actual logging.

setFormatter($formatter)

Sets the formatter for this object
