Log-Writer

Log-Writer is a lightweight c++-implementation for writing log-files.

The path of the log-file is set by the constructor. The application which uses the LogWriter has to use a different name in the constructor. The LogWriter supports common syslog severity-levels defined by RFC 3164. enum SeverityLevel {EMERGENCY, ALERT, CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG}; source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog#Severity_level

Val	Severity	Description	Examples
0	Emergency	System is unusable	This level should not
1	Alert	Should be corrected	be used by applications.
		immediately	Loss of the primary ISP connection.
2	Critical	Critical conditions	A failure in the system's primary application.
3	Error	Error conditions	An application has exceeded its file storage limit and attempts to write are failing.
4	Warning	May indicate that an error will occur if action is not taken.	A non-root file system has only 2GB remaining.
5	Notice	Events that are unusual, but not error conditions.
6	Informational	Normal operational messages that require no action.	An application has started, paused or ended successfully.
7	Debug	Information useful to developers for debugging the application.

DO ALWAYS END A LOG COMMAND BY "endl" (this ensures that your data is immediately flushed into the file)

For use see the following Example :

#include "include/logwriter.h"

int main() {
    LogWriter Lw("Application1", "Log.txt");
    Lw << SLevel(ERROR) << "Attention attention an error happend" << endl;
    Lw << SLevel(INFO) <<  "Just for infomation the value was " << 45 << endl;

    return 0;
}

Output (Log.txt)

29/06/16-14:50:47 - ERROR     - Application1 - Attention attention an error happend
29/06/16-14:50:47 - INFO      - Application1 - Just for infomation the value was 45
