void | dump_time () |
Protected method that dumps the date/time to the log file. |
BESLog provides a mechanism for applications to log information to an external file, such as debugging information. This file is defined in the BESKeys mechanism using the key BES.LogName.
Also provides a mechanism to define whether debugging information should be verbose or not using the BESKeys key/value pair BES.LogVerbose.
Logging can also be suspended and resumed using so named methods.
BESLog is used similar to cerr and cout using the overloaded operator <<.
if( BESLog::TheLog()->is_verbose() ) { *(BESLog::TheLog()) << "This is some information to be logged" << endl ; }
Types of data that can be logged include:
BESLog provides a static method for access to a single BESLog object, TheLog.
|
Defines a data type p_ios_manipulator "pointer to function that takes ios& and returns ios&".
|
|
Defines a data type p_ostream_manipulator "pointer to function that takes ostream& and returns ostream&".
|
|
constructor that sets up logging for the application. Sets up logging for the application by opening up the logging file and determining verbose logging. The file name is determined using the BESKeys mechanism. The key used is BES.LogName. The application must be able to write to this directory/file. Verbose logging is determined also using the BESKeys mechanism. The key used is BES.LogVerbose.
|
|
Cleans up the logging mechanism. Cleans up the logging mechanism by closing the log file. |
|
dumps information about this object Displays the pointer value of this instance along with information about the log file
Implements BESObj. |
|
Protected method that dumps the date/time to the log file. The time is dumped to the log file in the format: [MDT Thu Sep 9 11:05:16 2004 id: <pid>] |
|
Returns true if verbose logging is requested. This method returns true if verbose logging has been requested either by setting the BESKeys key/value pair BES.LogVerbose=value or by turning on verbose logging using the method verbose_on. If BES.LogVerbose is set to Yes, YES, or yes then verbose logging is turned on. If set to anything else then verbose logging is not turned on.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that takes ios methods. Overloaded inserter that can take the address oct, dec and hex functions. This inserter is based on p_ios_manipulator, therefore the C++ standard functions oct, dec and hex can be applied to objects of the class BESLog. |
|
Overloaded inserter that takes stream manipulation methods. Overloaded inserter that can take the address of endl, flush and ends functions. This inserter is based on p_ostream_manipulator, therefore the C++ standard functions for I/O endl, flush, and ends can be applied to objects of the class BESLog. |
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified double value.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified unsigned long value.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified long value.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified char value.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified int value.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified const char *.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified char *.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified const string.
|
|
Overloaded inserter that writes the specified string.
|
|
Resumes logging after being suspended. This method resumes logging after suspended by the user. If logging was not already suspended this method does nothing. |
|
Suspend logging of any information until resumed. This method suspends any logging of information. If already suspended then nothing changes, logging is still suspended. |
|
|
|
turns off verbose logging This methods turns off verbose logging. If verbose logging was not already turned on then nothing changes. |
|
turn on verbose logging This method turns on verbose logging, providing applications the ability to log more detailed debugging information. If verbose is already turned on then nothing is changed. |
