#logrotate file

GoDoc Build Status

logrotated can be configured to send a SIGHUP signal to a process after rotating it's logs. This library reopens the underlying os.File when a SIGHUP is received by the app.

###Example This is will enable all log calls to output to the log file without interruption when logrotated rotates the file.

logfile, err := logrotate.NewFile("/log/path/here")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

log.SetOutput(logfile)

# Functions

NewFile creates a File pointer and kicks off the goroutine listening for SIGHUP signals.

# Structs

File wraps an *os.File and listens for a 'SIGHUP' signal from logrotated so it can reopen the new file.
