Method | getLog | Given an integer, return a LogReader for an old log file. |
Method | write | Write some data to the file. |
Method | rotate | Rotate the file and create a new one. |
Method | listLogs | Return sorted list of integers - the old logs' identifiers. |

Inherited from BaseLogFile:
Class Method | fromFullPath | Construct a log file from a full file path. |
Method | flush | Flush the file. |
Method | close | Close the file. |
Method | reopen | Reopen the log file. This is mainly useful if you use an external log rotation tool, which moves under your feet. |
Method | getCurrentLog | Return a LogReader for the current log file. |
Create a log file rotating on length.
Parameters | name | file name. (type: str ) |
directory | path of the log file. (type: str ) | |
rotateLength | size of the log file where it rotates. Default to 1M. (type: int ) | |
defaultMode | mode used to create the file. (type: int ) | |
maxRotatedFiles | if not None, max number of log files the class creates. Warning: it removes
all log files above this number. (type: int ) |
Write some data to the file.
Rotate the file and create a new one.
If it's not possible to open new logfile, this will fail silently, and continue logging to old logfile.
