Trait tracing_subscriber::fmt::MakeWriter[][src]

pub trait MakeWriter {
    type Writer: Write;
    fn make_writer(&self) -> Self::Writer;
}
This is supported on crate feature fmt only.
Expand description

A type that can create io::Write instances.

MakeWriter is used by fmt::Subscriber or fmt::Layer to print formatted text representations of Events.

This trait is already implemented for function pointers and immutably-borrowing closures that return an instance of io::Write, such as io::stdout and io::stderr.

Associated Types

The concrete io::Write implementation returned by make_writer.

Required methods

Returns an instance of Writer.

Implementer notes

fmt::Layer or fmt::Subscriber will call this method each time an event is recorded. Ensure any state that must be saved across writes is not lost when the Writer instance is dropped. If creating a io::Write instance is expensive, be sure to cache it when implementing MakeWriter to improve performance.
