Class ELOG_APPENDER

-- Close this appender when garbage collected. Perform
-- minimal operations to release resources. Do not call
-- other object as they may have been garbage collected.
-- (From DISPOSABLE)

-- write the layout footer to the appender
-- Note: This is done synchronously

-- write the layout header to the appender
-- Note: this is done synchronously.

-- Log event on this appender (front end).

-- if something goes wrong, use this appender.

-- timeout after which we retry this appender again after
-- a failure. this value starts from Start_backup_appender_timeout,
-- and doubles with each time the appender did not work.
-- e.g. 100ms, 200ms, 400ms, 800ms ... etc

-- The maximum time the timeout grows to. If this value is 0,
-- then the 'backup_appender_timeout' will grow unboundedly.
-- (until INTEGER_32.max is reached, which is 24 days)

-- The start of the timeout counter, e.g. 100 ms.
-- see 'backup_appender_timeout' for more information.

-- The maximum size of 'event_pool' in number
-- of elements. If this value is zero, there is
-- no limit to the buffer size (except the memory
-- available).

-- is the buffer blocking if it is full?
-- if it isn't, the events are summarized
-- and discarded.

-- Is the appender open for appending?

-- Are the events beeing logged synchronously?

-- Layout used to format events for this appender. May be Void
-- if no layout is used.

-- Name of this appender that uniquely
-- identifies it.

-- use backup_appender instead

-- Release of resources.

-- initialize the mutexes

-- sets 'is_synchronous' to False.

-- sets 'backup_appender'
-- if pass_settings is true, all the settings
-- will be passed on.

-- sets 'backup_appender_timeout_max' in milliseconds.

-- sets 'backup_appender_timeout' in milliseconds.

-- sets 'is_blocking'

-- sets the maximal buffer size to 'size'.

-- Set 'filter' to 'a_filter'. See ELOG_AND_FILTER or
-- ELOG_OR_FILTER on how to set multiple filters.
-- If a_filter is void, no filter will be used.

-- Set the layout that this appender should use.

-- Set the name of this appender

-- sets 'is_synchronous' to True.
-- If the buffer still contains elements,
-- it will be emptied and the events discarded.

-- sets 'is_synchronous' to True.
-- If the buffer still contains elements, we wait
-- here until the pool is empty.

-- sets to use backup appender
-- this can be called from the dispatcher or the appender

-- wait here until the consumer thread
-- has finished dispatching the events.

-- monitor used for synchronizing events

-- Append 'event' to this appender.
