NAME

       Paranoid::Log::File - File Logging Functions

VERSION

SYNOPSIS

	 use Paranoid::Log;

	 enableFacility('events', 'file', 'debug', '+', $filename);

DESCRIPTION

       This module logs messages to the log files, and is safe for use with forked children logging to the same files.	Each child will open their
       own filehandles and use advisory locking for writes.

       This module should not be used directly, Paranoid::Log should be your exclusive interface for logging.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       This isn't a high performance module when dealing with a high logging rate with high concurrency.  This is due to the advisory locking
       requirement and the seeks to the end of the file with every message.  This facility is intended as a kind of lowest-common demoninator for
       programs that need some kind of logging capability.
