Module Logger

module Logger: sig .. end

Another logging library.

type message = [ `Debug | `Error | `Fatal | `Info | `Warn ] * string

type size = [ `Kb of int64 | `Mb of int64 | `Unlimited ]

type 'messagetype t

type default_t = message t

val create : ?max_size:size ->
       ?mode:Core.Std.Unix.file_perm ->
       ?max_archives:[ `Max of int | `Unlimited ] ->
       ?full_callback:(string Core.Std.Squeue.t -> unit) ->
       ?filter:('messagetype -> bool) ->
       message_to_string:('messagetype -> string) -> string -> 'messagetype t

- max_size - the maximum size of each log file (default 50Mb)

mode - mode to open the files in
max_archives - maximum number of archives to keep (default 4)
full_callback - called when the logger queue backs up so far that log items may have been lost. Defaults to doing nothing.
filter - if set, then every message is passed to filter before actually being logged. If filter returns false the message is dropped.
message_to_string - called to convert your message type to a string for logging

val create_default : ?max_size:size ->
       ?mode:Core.Std.Unix.file_perm ->
       ?max_archives:[ `Max of int | `Unlimited ] ->
       ?full_callback:(string Core.Std.Squeue.t -> unit) ->
       string -> message t

creates a log using the default message type and a filter that drops `Debug messages

val log : 'messagetype t -> 'messagetype -> unit

logs a message to log

val filter : 'messagetype t -> ('messagetype -> bool) -> unit

Sets the filter for a log

val clear_filter : 'messagetype t -> unit

removes the filter from a log

misc helper functions

val maybe_log : 'messagetype t option -> 'messagetype -> unit

logs a message to Some log, returns silently if log is None

val timestamp : unit -> string

Returns a timestamp as a string suitable for log files
