As the name suggests this is the connective that is assumed, if you do not explicitly specify it in the category-spec.
Categories are just a way to organize your logmessages. You may arrange as many and as complex categories as you wish. They're, as the name suggests, a way to express buckets for log-messages. Those buckets may later be bound to senders and thus enable the program to put messages at the right places[syntax] (define-category category-spec)
Syntax to define categories. You can define simple and complex categories.
(define-category info) (define-category debug) (define-category warn) (define-category warn+ (or info debug warn))[procedure] (dump-categories)
Print all currently known categories to (current-output-port).
Senders are basically filtered sinks for messages. Any message that comes in, will be analyzed against the category-specification and only if a match is found the message is send to its destination. Furthermore senders decide where the output goes. The most commonly used senders will be port-senders. But you could as well send messages to syslog or to a port or via email or whatever. You're free to define a custom sender-type and use it for logging.[syntax] (start-sender sender-constructor (category category-spec) [(output output-spec)])
Create and register a sender for the given categories. This sender will only react on matching categories.
- sender-constructor: is one of the available constructurs. See sender-constructors
- category-spec: A specification of the categories to match in order for the sender to be applied
- output-spec: A specification of the output-formatter. See outputs for details
;;start a port-sender for the category 'model' that outputs the data as "category message" (start-sender model-sender (port-sender (current-output-port)) (output (category message)) (category model))[procedure] (dump-senders)
Print the list of all known senders to current-output-port.
Sender constructors[procedure] (port-sender port-or-path #!key (lazy #f))
Creates a sender that outputs to a port. If port-or-path is a port, all data will be send to this port. If port-or-path is a string, it is considered a path to a file. The file will be opened and all messages will be send to this file. If lazy is set to true and port-or-path is a file-name, the sender will delay the opening of the file until it is actually needed, because a matching log-for statement is issued.[procedure] (syslog-sender ident options facility prio)
Creates a syslog-sender. All messages will be send to syslog with the given parameters. See also syslog.
Outputs are just a way to format your message. Technically an output is a procedure that returns a string. Multiple outputs can be combined into a list of outputs that are processed in order when a message is generated[syntax] (define-output name code)
Register an output with the given name. The output will be generated by evaluating code. During the evaluation of code the following parameters will be bound.
- *current-message* The content of the message
- *current-category* The category specification
(define-output test-output (string-join (shuffle (string-split (*current-message*) " ") random) " "))
There are some outputs predefined that can be used inside output-specifications
- message: the current message
- category: the current category
This is the output-specification that is used by default when a sender is invoked.
Sometimes it is useful to have a context in which logging accures. For example if a subsystem logs it might want to execute those log-statements inside its own context.[procedure] (push-context ctx)
Adds ctx to the current stack of contexts. This makes ctx the active context.[procedure] (pop-context)
Removes the most recently push context from the stack of contexts.[procedure] (call-with-context ctx thunk)
Sets the current context to ctx and invokes thunk. When thunk finishes it restores the previous context.[syntax] (with-context ctx code)
This syntax is a convenient wrapper around call-with-context, that adds a slightly less verbose interface.
(with-context "Test" (log-for (app) "This is executed withing Test-CTX") (with-context "Nested" (log-for (app) "This is executed in a nested Context")))
The actual logging is done using the log-for syntax.[syntax] (log-for spec fmt . args)
This form will invoke the logging machinery. It will find the senders that match the given spec, and send the message to all senders that have a matching category-specification.
(log-for (model warn) "just a ~A" "Test")
