Description

A logger repository is used to create and retrieve loggers. The relationship between loggers and the repository depends on the repository implementation but usually loggers are arranged in a named hierarchy.

In addition to the create functions, a logger repository can be queried for existing loggers and act as a registry for events related to loggers.

Logger repositories have the following signals:

  • add-appender

  • remove-appender

The add-appender signal is invoked whenever an appender is added to a logger in the repository.

The type signature for the add-appender signal is:

typedef void
(*add_appender)(Log4gLogger *logger, Log4gAppender *appender);

The remove-appender signal is invoked whenever an appender is removed from a logger in the repository.

The type signature for the remove-appender signal is:

typedef void
(*remove_appender)(Log4gLogger *logger, Log4gAppender *appender);
