   log4cpp::Appender::~Appender () [virtual]
       Destructor for Appender.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

   virtual void log4cpp::Appender::close () [pure virtual]
       Release any resources allocated within the appender such as file
       handles, network connections, etc.

       Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton, log4cpp::FileAppender,
       log4cpp::IdsaAppender, log4cpp::OstreamAppender,
       log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender, log4cpp::StringQueueAppender, and
       log4cpp::SyslogAppender.

   void log4cpp::Appender::closeAll () [static]
       Call reopen() on all existing Appenders.

       Returns:
           true if all Appenders returned true on their reopen() call.

   virtual void log4cpp::Appender::doAppend (const LoggingEvent & event) [pure
       virtual]
       Log in Appender specific way.

       Parameters:

       event  The LoggingEvent to log.

       Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

   Appender * log4cpp::Appender::getAppender (const std::string & name)
       [static]
       Get a pointer to an exitsing Appender.

       Parameters:

       name   The name of the Appender to return.

       Returns:
           a pointer to an existing Appender, or NULL if no appender with the
           specfied name exists.

   virtual Filter* log4cpp::Appender::getFilter () [pure virtual]
       Get the Filter for this appender.

       Returns:
           the filter, or NULL if no filter has been set.

       Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

   const std::string& log4cpp::Appender::getName () const [inline]
       Get the name of this appender.

       The name identifies the appender.

       Returns:

   virtual bool log4cpp::Appender::reopen () [pure virtual]
       Reopens the output destination of this Appender, e.g.

       the logfile or TCP socket.

       Returns:
           false if an error occured during reopening, true otherwise.

       Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton, log4cpp::FileAppender,
       log4cpp::IdsaAppender, log4cpp::OstreamAppender,
       log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender, log4cpp::StringQueueAppender, and
       log4cpp::SyslogAppender.

   bool log4cpp::Appender::reopenAll () [static]
       Call reopen() on all existing Appenders.

       Returns:
           true if all Appenders returned true on their reopen() call.

   virtual bool log4cpp::Appender::requiresLayout () [pure virtual]
       Check if the appender uses a layout.

       Returns:
           true if the appender implementation requires a layout.

       Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton, log4cpp::IdsaAppender, and
       log4cpp::LayoutAppender.

   virtual void log4cpp::Appender::setFilter (Filter * filter) [pure virtual]
       Set a Filter for this appender.

       Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

   virtual void log4cpp::Appender::setLayout (Layout * layout) [pure virtual]
       Set the Layout for this appender.

       Parameters:

       layout The layout to use.

       Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton, log4cpp::IdsaAppender, and
       log4cpp::LayoutAppender.

   virtual void log4cpp::Appender::setThreshold (Priority::Value priority)
       [pure virtual]
       Set the threshold priority of this Appender.

       The Appender will not appender LoggingEvents with a priority lower than
       the threshold. Use Priority::NOTSET to disable threshold checking.

       Parameters:

       priority
              The priority to set.

       Implemented in log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.
