Layout & log4tango::LayoutAppender::get_layout (void) [protected]

protected member function that hands you back a Layout &. it's [protected] so bestie, it's for subclasses, not for randos at the party 🙈

bool log4tango::LayoutAppender::requires_layout () const [virtual]

Check if the appender uses a layout. 🧐

Returns

true if the appender implementation requires a layout.

Implements log4tango::Appender.

void log4tango::LayoutAppender::set_layout (Layout * layout = 0) [virtual]
