agent::stamping(3)
NAME
Log::Agent::Stamping - time-stamping routines
SYNOPSIS
Not intended to be used directly
DESCRIPTION
This package contains routines to generate the leading
time-stamping on logged messages. Formats are identified
by a name, and the stamping_fn() function converts that
name into a CODE ref, defaulting to the "own" format when
given an unknown name.
- Here are the known formats:
- 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 (e.g. "date"), or a
CODE ref. That referenced routine will be called every
time we need to compute a time stamp. It should not
expect any parameter, and should return a stamping string.
