Constructor Detail

LengthRolloverLog

public LengthRolloverLog(java.lang.String basename,
                         java.lang.String extension,
                         int roll,
                         boolean append,
                         boolean autoFlush)

Write log information to the given log, roll when specified. The file written to will actually be "basename.number" where number is from 1..N (1 being older log entries than N) When starting, if logfiles basename.1 through basename.N exist, it will begin writing to basename.N+1. By default, all channels are listened to.
