Public Class methods

close(destination)

Reset log to basics. Basically just flushes and closes files and undefs other objects.

create(hash)

Create a new log message. The primary role of this method is to avoid creating log messages below the loglevel.

eachlevel() {|level| ...}

Yield each valid level in turn

flush()

Flush any log destinations that support such operations.

level()

Return the current log level.

level=(level)

Set the current log level.

newdestination(dest)

Create a new log destination.

newmessage(msg)

Route the actual message. FIXME There are lots of things this method should do, like caching and a bit more. It‘s worth noting that there‘s a potential for a loop here, if the machine somehow gets the destination set as itself.

reopen()

Reopen all of our logs.

validlevel?(level)

Is the passed level a valid log level?

Public Instance methods

source=(source)

If they pass a source in to us, we make sure it is a string, and we retrieve any tags we can.
