The gzlog object allows writing short messages to a gzipped log file,
|
|
|
|
|
opening the log file locked for small bursts, and then closing it. The log
|
2011-09-10 02:26:40 -04:00
|
|
|
object works by appending stored (uncompressed) data to the gzip file until
|
|
|
|
|
1 MB has been accumulated. At that time, the stored data is compressed, and
|
|
|
|
|
replaces the uncompressed data in the file. The log file is truncated to
|
|
|
|
|
its new size at that time. After each write operation, the log file is a
|
|
|
|
|
valid gzip file that can decompressed to recover what was written.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The gzlog operations can be interupted at any point due to an application or
|
|
|
|
|
system crash, and the log file will be recovered the next time the log is
|
|
|
|
|
opened with gzlog_open().
