Detailed Description

Provides a mechanism for applications to log information to an external 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:

  • string
  • char *
  • const char *
  • int
  • char
  • long
  • unsigned long
  • double
  • stream manipulators endl, ends and flush
  • ios manipulators hex, oct, dec

BESLog provides a static method for access to a single BESLog object, TheLog.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BESLog::BESLog ( )
protected

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.

Exceptions
BESInternalErrorif BESLogName is not set or if there are problems opening or writing to the log file.

bool BESLog::is_verbose ( )
inline

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.

Returns
true if verbose logging has been requested.

BESLog & BESLog::operator<< ( p_ostream_manipulator  val)

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.
