58 // <src>StreamLogSink</src> is a straightforward
59 // <linkto class=LogSinkInterface>LogSinkInterface</linkto> which sends its
60 // messages to an <src>ostream</src> (typically <src>cerr</src>) which it is
61 // given at construction time. It is not intended to be used directly, rather it
62 // should be used through <linkto class=LogSink>LogSink</linkto>.

66 // See <linkto file="Logging.h">Logging.h</linkto>.

String id() const
Returns the id of the LogSink in use...
Send log messages to an ostream.
Definition: StreamLogSink.h:80
Abstract base class for filtering LogMessages.
virtual void flush(Bool global=True)
write any pending output.
StreamLogSink(ostream *theStream=0, bool deleteStream=false)
Defaults to cerr if no stream is supplied.
Accepts LogMessages and posts them to some destination.
