Public Class Methods

new(log_file=nil, level=nil) click to toggle source

Initializes a new logger for log_file that outputs messages at level or higher. log_file can be a filename, an IO-like object that responds to << or nil which outputs to $stderr.

If no level is given INFO is chosen by default

 
               # File webrick/log.rb, line 50
def initialize(log_file=nil, level=nil)
  @level = level || INFO
  case log_file
  when String
    @log = File.open(log_file, "a+")
    @log.sync = true
    @opened = true
  when NilClass
    @log = $stderr
  else
    @log = log_file  # requires "<<". (see BasicLog#log)
  end
end
