Class Public methods
new(log_file=nil, level=nil)

Initializes a new logger for log_file that outputs messages at level or higher. log_file can be a filename, an IO-like object that responds to << or nil which outputs to $stderr.

If no level is given INFO is chosen by default

Source: show 

# File lib/webrick/log.rb, line 49
def initialize(log_file=nil, level=nil)
  @level = level || INFO
  case log_file
  when String
    @log = open(log_file, "a+")
    @log.sync = true
    @opened = true
  when NilClass
    @log = $stderr
  else
    @log = log_file  # requires "<<". (see BasicLog#log)
  end
end
Instance Public methods
<<(obj)

Synonym for log(INFO, obj.to_s)

Source: show 

# File lib/webrick/log.rb, line 83
def <<(obj)
  log(INFO, obj.to_s)
end
close()

Closes the logger (also closes the log device associated to the logger)

Source: show 

# File lib/webrick/log.rb, line 65
def close
  @log.close if @opened
  @log = nil
end

# File lib/webrick/log.rb, line 96
def debug(msg) log(DEBUG, "DEBUG " << format(msg)); end

# File lib/webrick/log.rb, line 107
def debug?; @level >= DEBUG; end

# File lib/webrick/log.rb, line 74
def log(level, data)
  if @log && level <= @level
    data += "\n" if /\n\Z/ !~ data
    @log << data
  end
end
