log4cplus or
fwkJobReport destinations) are formatted by injecting line
breaks between items if a line would exceed 80 characters. This
formatting can be controlled and/or disabled:
process TEST = {
service = MessageLogger {
vstring destinations = { "detailedInfo.txt"
, "critical.txt"
}
PSet critical.txt = { bool noLineBreaks = true }
PSet detailedInfo.txt = { int32 lineLength = 132 }
}
untracked PSet maxEvents = {untracked int32 input = 5}
path p = { myAnalysisModule }
module myAnalysisModule = ModuleThatIssuesMessages { }
source = EmptySource { }
}
The bool noLineBreaks = true parameter
in the PSet configuring critical.txt tells the
destination producing the file critical.txt not to add line breaks
which would format the message for an 80-column screen.
Files which will be parsed by automated utilities might be easier to handle
without logger-produced line breaks within a message.
The int32 lineLength = 132 parameter in the PSet configuring detailedInfo.txt tells the destination producing the file detailedInfo.txt not format the message for a 132-column window.
