Struct tracing_subscriber::fmt::writer::BoxMakeWriter

pub struct BoxMakeWriter { /* fields omitted */ }

This is supported on crate features fmt and std only.

A writer that erases the specific io::Write and MakeWriter types being used.

This is useful in cases where the concrete type of the writer cannot be known until runtime.

Examples

A function that returns a Subscriber that will write to either stdout or stderr:

fn dynamic_writer(use_stderr: bool) -> impl Subscriber {
    let writer = if use_stderr {
        BoxMakeWriter::new(std::io::stderr)
    } else {
        BoxMakeWriter::new(std::io::stdout)
    };

    tracing_subscriber::fmt().with_writer(writer).finish()
}

Implementations
