It is a I class, meaning that it cannot be instantiated directly. All the deferred routines need to be implemented by its heirs to form a valid driver. A I routine is a routine whose signature and semantics (pre and post conditions, formally) are specified, but not implemented. It allows specification of high-level processings in terms of them, thereby factorizing common code in the ancestors without loosing specialization benefits. =head1 DRIVER LIST The following drivers are currently fully implemented: =over =item Log::Agent::Driver::Default This is the default driver which remaps to simple print(), warn() and die() Perl calls. =item Log::Agent::Driver::File This driver redirects logs to files. Each logging channel may go to a dedicated file. =item Log::Agent::Driver::Silent Silence all the logxxx() routines. =item Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog This driver redirects logs to the syslogd(8) daemon, which will then handle the dispatching to various logfiles, based on its own configuration. =back =head1 INTERFACE You need not read this section if you're only B Log::Agent. However, if you wish to B another driver, then you should probably read it a few times. The following routines are B and therefore need to be defined by the heir: =over =item channel_eq($chan1, $chan2) Returns true when both channels $chan1 and $chan2 send their output to the same place. The purpose is not to have a 100% accurate comparison, which is almost impossible for the Log::Agent::Driver::File driver, but to reasonably detect similarities to avoid duplicating messages to the same output when Devel::Datum is installed and activated. =item write($channel, $priority, $logstring) Emit the log entry held in $logstring, at priority $priority and through the specfied $channel name. A trailing "\n" is to be added if needed, but the $logstring should not already have one. The $channel name is just a string, and it is up to the driver to map that name to an output device using its own configuration information. The generic logxxx() routines use only C, C or C for channel names. The $priority entry is assumed to have passed through the map_pri() routine, which by default returns an empty string (only the Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog driver needs a priority, for now). Ignore if you don't need that, or redefine map_pri(). The $logstring may not really be a plain string. It can actually be a Log::Agent::Message object with an overloaded stringification routine, so the illusion should be complete. =item make This is the creation routine. Its signature varies for each driver, naturally. =item prefix_msg($str) Prefix the log message string (a Log::Agent::Message object) with driver-specific information (like the configured prefix, the PID of the process, etc...). Must return the prefixed string, either as a Log::Agent::Message object or as a plain string. This means you may use normal string operations on the $str variable and let the overloaded stringification perform its magic. Or you may return the $str parameter without modification. There is no default implementation here because this is too driver-specific to choose one good default. And I like making things explicit sometimes. =back The following routines are implemented in terms of write(), map_pri() and prefix_msg(). The default implementation may need to be redefined for performance or tuning reasons, but simply defining the deferred routines above should bring a reasonable behaviour. As an example, here is the default logsay() implementation, which uses the emit() wrapper (see below): sub logsay { my $self = shift; my ($str) = @_; $self->emit('output', 'notice', $str); } Yes, we do show the gory details in a manpage, but inheriting from a class is not for the faint of heart, and requires getting acquainted with the implementation, most of the time. The order is not alphabetical here but by increased level of severity (as expected, anyway): =over =item logwrite($channel, $priority, $level, $str) Log message to the given channel, at the specified priority/level, obtained through a call to map_pri(). =item logsay($str) Log message to the C channel, at the C priority. =item logwarn($str) Log warning to the C channel at the C priority. =item logxcarp($offset, $str) Log warning to the C channel at the C priority, from the perspective of the caller. An additional $offset stack frames are skipped to find the caller (added to the hardwired fixed offset imposed by the overall Log::Agent architecture). =item logerr($str) Log error to the C channel at the C priority. =item logdie($str) Log fatal error to the C channel at the C priority and then call die() with "$str\n" as argument. =item logxcroak($offset, $str) Log a fatal error, from the perspective of the caller. The error is logged to the C channel at the C priority and then Carp::croak() is called with "$str\n" as argument. An additional $offset stack frames are skipped to find the caller (added to the hardwired fixed offset imposed by the overall Log::Agent architecture). =item logconfess($str) Confess a fatal error. The error is logged to the C channel at the C priority and then Carp::confess() is called with "$str\n" as argument. =back The following routines have a default implementation but may be redefined for specific drivers: =over =item emit($channel, $prio, $str) This is a convenient wrapper that calls: write($channel, $self->priority($prio), $self->prefix_msg($str)) using dynamic binding. =item map_pri($priority, $level) Converts a ("priority", level) tupple to a single priority token suitable for emit(). By default, returns an empty string, which is OK only when emit() does not care! =back The following routine is B. There is no way in Perl to freeze a routine, i.e. to explicitely forbid any redefinition, so this is an informal notification: =over =item priority($priority) This routine returns the proper priority for emit() for each of the following strings: "critical", "error", "warning" and "notice", which are the hardwired priority strings, as documented above. It derives a logging level from the $priority given and then returns the result of: map_pri($priority, $level); Therefore, only map_pri() should be redefined. =back Finally, the following initialization routine is provided: to record the =over =item _init($prefix, $penalty) Records the C attribute, as well as the Carp C (amount of extra stack frames to skip). Should be called in the constructor of all the drivers. =back =head1 AUTHOR Raphael Manfredi FRaphael_Manfredi@pobox.comE> =head1 SEE ALSO Log::Agent(3), Log::Agent::Driver::Default(3), Log::Agent::Driver::File(3), Log::Agent::Driver::Silent(3), Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog(3), Devel::Datum(3). =cut
