Example

public class AccountRenamer {
    private Logger logger;

    public AccountRenamer() {
        logger = new Logger('Account Renamer'); // Gets the log record corresponding to today or creates a new one in case it doesn't exist.
    }

    public static void rename(Account acc, String newName){
        logger.info('Renaming started...'); // Adds an information line to the log.
        try {
            /* Some code */
            logger.info('Renaming finished succesfully.');
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            logger.error(e.getMessage()); // Adds a new line with the error as well as setting the HasErrors__c field to true in the log.
        }

        logger.persistLog(); // Must be invoked at the end of the transaction in order to update the log record.
    }
}
