Method: Log4r::Logger#initialize

Defined in:
lib/log4r/logger.rb

#initialize(_fullname, _level = nil, _additive = true, _trace = false) ⇒ Logger

Logger requires a name. The last 3 parameters are:

level

Do I have a level? (Otherwise, I’ll inherit my parent’s)

additive

Am I additive?

trace

Do I record the execution trace? (slows things a wee bit)

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
