LOG4CPP::TIMESTAMPCOMPONENT(3)

💅 log4cpp::TimeStampComponent 💅

okay bestie, so this page lives in the Library Functions Manual for log4cpp and it's literally all about log4cpp::TimeStampComponent — a little pattern component that stamps the time into your log output 🕐✨ no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

log4cpp::TimeStampComponent — the timestamp-y component, and yes that's the entire name section, she's brief and she's iconic 💁‍♀️

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ok so first thing: she inherits from log4cpp::PatternLayout::PatternComponent 🧬 like that's her whole lineage, that's her main character origin story.

🫶 Public Member Functions

• TimeStampComponent (std::string timeFormat) — the constructor, and it takes a std::string timeFormat so you can tell her how you want your timestamps to look 💖
• virtual void append (std::ostringstream &out, const LoggingEvent &event) — the virtual function that does the appending thing: takes your std::ostringstream &out and a const LoggingEvent &event 🦋

🌈 Public Member Functions inherited from log4cpp::PatternLayout::PatternComponent

• virtual ~PatternComponent () — the destructor she gets from her parent, inherited and living her life, we love a hand-me-down 😌

⭐ Static Public Attributes

These are the preset format strings, all static const char *const, and honestly? gifts 🎁

• FORMAT_ISO8601 = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%l'
• FORMAT_ABSOLUTE = '%H:%M:%S,%l'
• FORMAT_DATE = '%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S,%l'

[inline], [virtual] — both tags, she's that girl 💅

and listen: Implements log4cpp::PatternLayout::PatternComponent — that's her job, that's what she's here for, she implements the thing 👑

🍓 Member Data Documentation 🍓

all three are [static], all three are const char *const, and here they are in all their glory:

• const char *const log4cpp::TimeStampComponent::FORMAT_ABSOLUTE = '%H:%M:%S,%l'  [static]
• const char *const log4cpp::TimeStampComponent::FORMAT_DATE = '%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S,%l'  [static]
• const char *const log4cpp::TimeStampComponent::FORMAT_ISO8601 = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%l'  [static]

fr fr just copy these into your timeFormat and you're slaying, don't overthink it 🫶
