Method: Logging::Logger#initialize

Defined in:
lib/logging/logger.rb

#initialize(name) ⇒ Logger

call-seq:

Logger.new( name )
Logger[name]

Returns the logger identified by name.

When name is a String or a Symbol it will be used “as is” to retrieve the logger. When name is a Class the class name will be used to retrieve the logger. When name is an object the name of the object’s class will be used to retrieve the logger.

Example:

obj = MyClass.new

log1 = Logger.new(obj)
log2 = Logger.new(MyClass)
log3 = Logger['MyClass']

log1.object_id == log2.object_id         # => true
log2.object_id == log3.object_id         # => true
