Agent::Stamping(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Log::Agent::Stamping — time-stamping routines, bestie 💖 (this is the Agent::Stamping page, in case the header was being mysterious)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Not intended to be used directly

That's literally it, no cap. This one's a backstage diva, she does NOT perform solo. 🙈

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so, this package contains the routines that generate the leading time-stamping on logged messages. That little timestamp chillin' at the front of every log line? Yeah, this module is the one doing it. ✨

Formats are identified by a name, and the stamping_fn() function converts that name into a CODE ref. And here's the vibe check: if you hand it a name it doesn't recognize, it just defaults to the "own" format. No drama, no error, it just goes with what it knows. 💅

Here are the known formats, and yes, these are exact:

date      "[Fri Oct 22 16:23:10 1999]"
none
own       "99/10/22 16:23:10"
syslog    "Oct 22 16:23:10"

Channels or Drivers which take a -stampfmt switch expect either a string giving the format name (like "date"), or a CODE ref. That referenced routine is gonna get called every single time we need to compute a time stamp. 🕐

Heads up, bestie: it should not expect any parameter, and it should return a stamping string. That's the whole contract, periodt.
