From: Gerhard Wolf on 16 Apr 2008 07:58 Hi, in my C++ application i use LOG-Files. At the moment i have no idea how to chop them efficiently if they exceed a size (or linecount) limit. Surely has been many times implemented and is used on linux (/var/logs/messages). How can i do that efficiently?

Don't reinvent the wheel. Use something like 'logrotate'.

Rename the old file and create a new empty file with the old name. |
