ORKLogFormatter Class Reference

Inherits from NSObject
Declared in ORKDataLogger.h

The ORKLogFormatter class represents the base (default) log formatter, which appends data blindly to a log file.

A log formatter is used by a data logger to format objects for output to the log, and to begin a new log file and end an existing log file. ORKLogFormatter accepts NSData and has neither a header nor a footer.

A log formatter should ensure that the log is always in a valid state, so that even if the app is killed, the log is still readable.
