uses a settings file to define log sink back-ends, by default uses
:/wsjtx_log_config.ini from the resources file-system. Users may
override by placing their own wsjtx_log_config.ini into the WSJT-X
config location. The settings file format is as described in the Boost
log
documentation (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_74_0/libs/log/doc/html/log/detailed/utilities.html#log.detailed.utilities.setup.settings_file)
with the additional feature that allows some pre-defined variables to
be expanded. The predefined variables refer to standard locations in
the file-system, and allow log files and rotation target directory
paths to be specified. The pre-defined variables are:
DesktopLocation
DocumentsLocation
TempLocation
HomeLocation
CacheLocation
GenericCacheLocation
GenericDataLocation
AppDataLocation
and must be used enclosed on braces and preceded by a '$'
character. E.g. to define the pattern for a sink's log file:
FileName="${AppLocalDataLocation}/wsjtx_syslog.log"
this would place the log file wsjtx_syslog.log in the WSJT-X log files
directory, on all platforms.
