# NAME

File::Stamped - time stamped log file

# SYNOPSIS

   use File::Stamped;
   my $fh = File::Stamped->new(pattern => '/var/log/myapp.log.%Y%m%d.txt');
   $fh->print("OK\n");

   # with Log::Minimal
   use Log::Minimal;
   my $fh = File::Stamped->new(pattern => '/var/log/myapp.log.%Y%m%d.txt');
   local $Log::Minimal::PRINT = sub {
       my ( $time, $type, $message, $trace) = @_;
       print {$fh} "$time [$type] $message at $trace\n";
   };

# DESCRIPTION

File::Stamped is utility library for logging. File::Stamped object mimic file handle.

You can use "myapp.log.%Y%m%d.log" style log file.

# METHODS

- my $fh = File::Stamped->new(%args);

   This method creates new instance of File::Stamped. The arguments are followings.

   You need to specify one of **pattern** or **callback**.

   - pattern : Str

       This is file name pattern. It is the pattern for filename. The format is POSIX::strftime(), see also [POSIX](https://metacpan.org/pod/POSIX).

   - callback : CodeRef

       You can use a CodeRef to generate file name.

       File::Stamped pass only one arguments to callback function.

       Here is a example code:

           my $pattern = '/path/to/myapp.log.%Y%m%d.log';
           my $f = File::Stamped->new(callback => sub {
               my $file_stamped = shift;
               local $_ = $pattern;
               s/!!/$$/ge;
               $_ = POSIX::strftime($_, localtime());
               return $_;
           });

   - close\_after\_write : Bool

       Default value is 1.

   - iomode: Str

       This is IO mode for opening file.

       Default value is '>>:utf8'.  However, for perl-5.30 compatibility, '>>:raw' is
       used for `syswrite`.

   - autoflush: Bool

       This attribute changes $|.

   - rotationtime: Int

       The time between log file generates in seconds. Default value is 1.

   - auto\_make\_dir: Bool

       If this attribute is true, auto make directry of log file. Default value is false.

   - symlink: Str

       generate symlink file for log file.

- $fh->print($str: Str)

   This method prints the $str to the file.

- $fh->syswrite($str: Str \[, $len: Int, $offset: Int\])

   This method prints the $str to the file.
   This method uses syswrite internally. Writing is not buffered.
