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
bitmaskListEnabled
Gets a list of enabled bit masks
Returns
An array containing a list of strings representing bitmasks enabled for this handle
formatter
Getter/Setter for the objects formatter attribute
Parameters
formatter
[optional] A valid Log::Fine::Formatter object
Returns
A Log::Fine::Formatter object
isLoggable
Specifies whether the handle is loggable at the given level.
Parameters
level
Name of level or numeric value representing level
Returns
1 if this level is loggable, undef otherwise
msgWrite
Tells the handle to output the given log message.
Note: msgWrite() is an internal method to the Log::Fine framework, meant to be sub-classed. Use "log" in Log::Fine::Logger for actual logging.
Parameters
level
Level at which to log
message
Message to log
skip
Passed to caller for accurate method logging
Returns
None
