Documentation

Overview

Package rotate provides an io.Writer that changes the file it writes to based on the current date. It always writes to a file inside of the directory it is given, and only switches files once it has finished writing a line and the date has changed. It is intended to be used with log.SetOutput().

Functions

func New

func New(directory string) (io.WriteCloser, error)

New returns a new logger that will always log to directory/YYYY-MM-DD.log. When its close method is called, it will close any open file and stop accepting calls to Write. A closed logger may not be re-opened.
