lumberjack.go

// Package lumberjack provides a rolling logger.
//
// Note that this is v2.0 of lumberjack, and should be imported using gopkg.in
// thusly:
//
//   import "gopkg.in/natefinch/lumberjack.v2"
//
// The package name remains simply lumberjack, and the code resides at
// https://github.com/natefinch/lumberjack under the v2.0 branch.
//
// Lumberjack is intended to be one part of a logging infrastructure.
// It is not an all-in-one solution, but instead is a pluggable
// component at the bottom of the logging stack that simply controls the files
// to which logs are written.
//
// Lumberjack plays well with any logging package that can write to an
// io.Writer, including the standard library's log package.
//
// Lumberjack assumes that only one process is writing to the output files.
// Using the same lumberjack configuration from multiple processes on the same
// machine will result in improper behavior.

// ensure we always implement io.WriteCloser
var _ io.WriteCloser = (*Logger)(nil)

// Logger is an io.WriteCloser that writes to the specified filename.
//
// Logger opens or creates the logfile on first Write.  If the file exists and
// is less than MaxSize megabytes, lumberjack will open and append to that file.
// If the file exists and its size is >= MaxSize megabytes, the file is renamed
// by putting the current time in a timestamp in the name immediately before the
// file's extension (or the end of the filename if there's no extension). A new
// log file is then created using original filename.
//
// Whenever a write would cause the current log file exceed MaxSize megabytes,
// the current file is closed, renamed, and a new log file created with the
// original name. Thus, the filename you give Logger is always the "current" log
// file.
//
// Cleaning Up Old Log Files
//
// Whenever a new logfile gets created, old log files may be deleted.  The most
// recent files according to the encoded timestamp will be retained, up to a
// number equal to MaxBackups (or all of them if MaxBackups is 0).  Any files
// with an encoded timestamp older than MaxAge days are deleted, regardless of
// MaxBackups.  Note that the time encoded in the timestamp is the rotation
// time, which may differ from the last time that file was written to.
//
// If MaxBackups and MaxAge are both 0, no old log files will be deleted.
