Struct AppendTimestamp

pub struct AppendTimestamp {
    pub format: &'static str,
    pub file_limit: FileLimit,
    pub date_from: DateFrom,
}

Append current timestamp as suffix when rotating files. If the timestamp already exists, an additional number is appended.

Current limitations:

• Neither format nor the base filename can include the character ".".
• The format should ensure that the lexical and chronological orderings are the same

Fields

format: &'static str

The format of the timestamp suffix

file_limit: FileLimit

The file limit, e.g. when to delete an old file - by age (given by suffix) or by number of files

date_from: DateFrom

Add timestamp from DateFrom

Implementations

impl AppendTimestamp

pub fn default(file_limit: FileLimit) -> Self

With format "%Y%m%dT%H%M%S"

pub fn with_format( format: &'static str, file_limit: FileLimit, date_from: DateFrom, ) -> Self

Create new AppendTimestamp suffix scheme

Trait Implementations

impl SuffixScheme for AppendTimestamp

type Repr = TimestampSuffix

The representation of suffixes that this suffix scheme uses. E.g. if the suffix is a number, you can use usize.

fn rotate_file( &mut self, _basepath: &Path, newest_suffix: Option<&TimestampSuffix>, suffix: &Option<TimestampSuffix>, ) -> Result<TimestampSuffix>

file-rotate calls this function when the file at suffix needs to be rotated, and moves the log file accordingly. Thus, this function should not move any files itself.

fn parse(&self, suffix: &str) -> Option<Self::Repr>

Parse suffix from string.

fn too_old(&self, suffix: &TimestampSuffix, file_number: usize) -> bool

Whether either the suffix or the chronological file number indicates that the file is old and should be deleted, depending of course on the file limit. file_number starts at 0 for the most recent suffix.

fn scan_suffixes(&self, basepath: &Path) -> BTreeSet<SuffixInfo<Self::Repr>>

Find all files in the basepath.parent() directory that has path equal to basepath + a valid suffix. Return sorted collection - sorted from most recent to oldest based on the Ord implementation of Self::Repr.
