## weka.core
Class Debug.Log

    java.lang.Object
      weka.core.Debug.Log

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, RevisionHandler

Enclosing class:
  Debug

    public static class Debug.Log

extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, RevisionHandler

A helper class for logging stuff. Uses the java.util.logging package. If this approach seems an "overkill" (it can create quite a few log files if used in different threads), one can use the Debug.SimpleLog class.

  $Revision: 1.8 $

Constructor Summary
`Debug.Log()` default constructor, uses only stdout
`Debug.Log(java.lang.String filename)` creates a logger that logs into the specified file, if null then only stdout is used.
`Debug.Log(java.lang.String filename, int size, int numFiles)` creates a logger that logs into the specified file, if null then only stdout is used.

Method Summary
`java.lang.String` | `getFilename()` returns the filename of the log, can be null
`int` | `getNumFiles()` returns the number of files being used
`java.lang.String` | `getRevision()` Returns the revision string.
`int` | `getSize()` returns the size of the files
`void` | `log(java.util.logging.Level level, java.lang.String message)` logs the given message
`void` | `log(java.util.logging.Level level, java.lang.String sourceclass, java.lang.String message)` prints the given message with the specified level
`void` | `log(java.util.logging.Level level, java.lang.String sourceclass, java.lang.String sourcemethod, java.lang.String message)` prints the given message with the specified level
`void` | `logSystemInfo()` a convenience method for dumping the current system info in the log file
`static java.util.logging.Level` | `stringToLevel(java.lang.String level)` turns the string representing a level, e.g., "FINE" or "ALL" into the corresponding level (case-insensitive).
`java.lang.String` | `toString()` returns a string representation of the logger
