🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Log4c mmap(2) appender interface. periodt.

so the mmap appender uses a fixed length memory mapped file for logging. no cap. the appender's name is used as the file name, and that file gets opened and mapped to memory at first use. then that memory mapped file is used as a rotating buffer where logging events get written. it's giving very efficient, honestly obsessed.

the following example shows how to define and use mmap appenders:

log4c_appender_t* myappender;

myappender = log4c_appender_get("myfile.log");
log4c_appender_set_type(myappender, &log4c_appender_type_mmap);

⚠️ Warning — the file is not created at first use. it should already exist and have a reasonable size, a mutilple of a page size. like. bestie. pls make the file first, i'm begging 🙈 (and yes, "mutilple" is how the original spells it, we don't fix, we respect 🫶)

__LOG4C_BEGIN_DECLS const log4c_appender_type_t log4c_appender_type_mmap

[extern]

Mmap appender type definition.

this should be used as a parameter to the log4c_appender_set_type() routine to set the type of the appender. that's the whole job. main character energy fr fr ⭐
