Modern Log Name

Home › Logging › Logging › Name

Name

Sets or returns the logger's component name, attached to every record it makes.

Syntax

Name as ustring             '' get and set

Notes

• A property, like MinLevel.
• It is what lets one subsystem's lines be told apart at the sink.
• WithName makes a child carrying a different name; assigning this changes the logger in place.

Examples

#import "std/logs"
using logs

dim con as ConsoleSink
dim lg as Logger
lg.AddSink( @con )

lg.Name = "app"
print lg.Name                '' app

lg.Info( "carries the name app" )

'' WithName makes a child instead of changing this one
dim net_ as Logger = lg.WithName( "net" )
print net_.Name              '' net
print lg.Name                '' app -- unchanged
