## Detailed Description

Appends log events to a file.

### Properties

`File`

  This property specifies output file name.

`ImmediateFlush`

  When it is set true, output stream will be flushed after each appended event.

`Append`

  When it is set true, output file will be appended to instead of being truncated at opening.

`ReopenDelay`

  This property sets a delay after which the appender will try to reopen log file again, after last logging failure.

`BufferSize`

  Non-zero value of this property sets up buffering of output stream using a buffer of given size.

`UseLockFile`
  Set this property to `true` if you want your output to go into a log file shared by multiple processes. When this property is set to true then log4cplus uses OS specific facilities (e.g., `lockf()`) to provide inter-process file locking.

    Appender
`LockFile`
  This property specifies lock file, file used for inter-process synchronization of log file access. When this property is not specified, the value is derived from `File` property by addition of ".lock" suffix. The property is only used when `UseLockFile` is set to true.
  See also
    Appender
`Locale`
  This property specifies a locale name that will be imbued into output stream. Locale can be specified either by system specific locale name, e.g., `en_US.UTF-8`, or by one of four recognized keywords: `GLOBAL`, `DEFAULT` (which is an alias for `GLOBAL`), `USER` and `CLASSIC`. When specified locale is not available, `GLOBAL` is used instead. It is possible to register additional locale keywords by registering an instance of `spi::LocaleFactory` in `spi::LocaleFactoryRegistry`.

    spi::getLocaleFactoryRegistry()

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ getloc()

virtual STD_NAMESPACE locale dcmtk::log4cplus::FileAppender::getloc | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Returns
  Locale imbued in fstream.

## ◆ imbue()

virtual STD_NAMESPACE locale dcmtk::log4cplus::FileAppender::imbue | ( | STD_NAMESPACE locale const & | loc | ) |
| virtual

Redefine default locale for output stream.

It may be a good idea to provide UTF-8 locale in case UNICODE macro is defined.

## Member Data Documentation

## ◆ immediateFlush

bool dcmtk::log4cplus::FileAppender::immediateFlush
| protected

Immediate flush means that the underlying writer or output stream will be flushed at the end of each append operation.

Immediate flush is slower but ensures that each append request is actually written. If `immediateFlush` is set to `false`, then there is a good chance that the last few logs events are not actually written to persistent media if and when the application crashes.

The `immediateFlush` variable is set to `true` by default.

## ◆ reopenDelay

int dcmtk::log4cplus::FileAppender::reopenDelay
| protected

When any append operation fails, `reopenDelay` says for how many seconds the next attempt to re-open the log file and resume logging will be delayed.

If `reopenDelay` is zero, each failed append operation will cause log file to be re-opened. By default, `reopenDelay` is 1 second.
