It logs onto disk all events + which are sent to an event manager. Each event is written as a + binary which makes the logging very fast. However, a tool such as the <c>Report Browser</c> (<c>rb</c>) must be used in order to read the files. The events are written to multiple files. When all files have been used, the first one is re-used and overwritten. The directory location, the number of files, and the size of each file are configurable. The directory will include one file called <c>index</c>, and + report files <c>1, 2, ....</c>. + </p> + </description> + <funcs> + <func> + <name>init(Dir, MaxBytes, MaxFiles)</name> + <name>init(Dir, MaxBytes, MaxFiles, Pred) -> Args</name> + <fsummary>Initiate the event handler</fsummary> + <type> + <v>Dir = string()</v> + <v>MaxBytes = integer()</v> + <v>MaxFiles = 0 < integer() < 256</v> + <v>Pred = fun(Event) -> boolean()</v> + <v>Event = term()</v> + <v>Args = args()</v> + </type> + <desc> + <p>Initiates the event handler.
