| 25 | 1.0 26 Nov 2004 First version
|
|---|
| 26 | 2.0 25 Apr 2008 Complete redesign for recovery of interrupted operations
|
|---|
| 27 | Interface changed slightly in that now path is a prefix
|
|---|
| 28 | Compression now occurs as needed during gzlog_write()
|
|---|
| 29 | gzlog_write() now always leaves the log file as valid gzip

|
|---|
| 33 | The gzlog object allows writing short messages to a gzipped log file,
|
|---|
| 34 | opening the log file locked for small bursts, and then closing it. The log
|
|---|
| 35 | object works by appending stored (uncompressed) data to the gzip file until
|
|---|
| 36 | 1 MB has been accumulated. At that time, the stored data is compressed, and
|
|---|
| 37 | replaces the uncompressed data in the file. The log file is truncated to
|
|---|
| 38 | its new size at that time. After each write operation, the log file is a
|
|---|
| 39 | valid gzip file that can decompressed to recover what was written.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | The gzlog operations can be interupted at any point due to an application or
|
|---|
| 42 | system crash, and the log file will be recovered the next time the log is
|
|---|
| 43 | opened with gzlog_open().
