+ <p>This callback is optional, so event handler modules need
+ not export it. If a handler does not export this function,
+ the gen_event module uses the handler state directly for
+ the purposes described below.</p>
+ </note>
+ <p>This function is called by a gen_event process when:</p>
+ <list typed="bulleted">
+ <item>One
+ of <seealso marker="sys#get_status/1">sys:get_status/1,2</seealso>
+ is invoked to get the gen_event status. <c>Opt</c> is set
+ to the atom <c>normal</c> for this case.</item>
+ <item>The event handler terminates abnormally and gen_event
+ logs an error. <c>Opt</c> is set to the
+ atom <c>terminate</c> for this case.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>This function is useful for customising the form and
+ appearance of the event handler state for these cases. An
+ event handler callback module wishing to customise
+ the <c>sys:get_status/1,2</c> return value as well as how
+ its state appears in termination error logs exports an
+ instance of <c>format_status/2</c> that returns a term
+ describing the current state of the event handler.</p>
+ <p><c>PDict</c> is the current value of the gen_event's
+ process dictionary.</p>
+ <p><c>State</c> is the internal state of the event
+ handler.</p>
+ <p>The function should return <c>Status</c>, a term that
+ customises the details of the current state of the event
+ handler. Any term is allowed for <c>Status</c>. The
+ gen_event module uses <c>Status</c> as follows:</p>
+ <list typed="bulleted">
+ <item>When <c>sys:get_status/1,2</c> is called, gen_event
+ ensures that its return value contains <c>Status</c> in
+ place of the event handler's actual state term.</item>
+ <item>When an event handler terminates abnormally, gen_event
+ logs <c>Status</c> in place of the event handler's actual
+ state term.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>One use for this function is to return compact alternative
+ state representations to avoid having large state terms
+ printed in logfiles.</p>
