Overview

This is an abstract class for a device that appends entries to a file and periodically archives the existing file and starts a one. Subclasses must implement the roll_file? and archive_file_suffix methods.

The :keep option can be used to specify a maximum number of rolled log files to keep. Older files will be deleted based on the time they were created. The default is to keep all files.

Instance Method Details

#archive_file_suffix ⇒ Object

Returns a suffix that will be appended to the file name when it is archived.. The suffix should change after it is time to roll the file. The log file will be renamed when it is rolled.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

def archive_file_suffix
  raise NotImplementedError
end

#roll_file! ⇒ Object

Roll the log file by renaming it to the archive file name and then re-opening a stream to the log file path. Rolling a file is safe in multi-threaded or multi-process environments.
