| 35 | The gzlog object allows writing short messages to a gzipped log file,
|
|---|
| 36 | opening the log file locked for small bursts, and then closing it. The log
|
|---|
| 37 | object works by appending stored (uncompressed) data to the gzip file until
|
|---|
| 38 | 1 MB has been accumulated. At that time, the stored data is compressed, and
|
|---|
| 39 | replaces the uncompressed data in the file. The log file is truncated to
|
|---|
| 40 | its new size at that time. After each write operation, the log file is a
|
|---|
| 41 | valid gzip file that can decompressed to recover what was written.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | The gzlog operations can be interupted at any point due to an application or
|
|---|
| 44 | system crash, and the log file will be recovered the next time the log is
|
|---|
| 45 | opened with gzlog_open().
