398 * Constructor. Creates a sink backend with the specified named parameters.
399 * The following named parameters are supported:
401 * \li \c file_name - Specifies the active file name pattern where logs are actually written to. The pattern may
402 * contain directory and file name portions, but only the file name may contain
403 * placeholders. The backend supports Boost.DateTime placeholders for injecting
404 * current time and date into the file name. Also, an additional %N placeholder is
405 * supported, it will be replaced with an integral increasing file counter. The placeholder
406 * may also contain width specification in the printf-compatible form (e.g. %5N). The
407 * printed file counter will always be zero-filled. If \c file_name is not specified,
408 * pattern "%5N.log" will be used.
409 * \li \c target_file_name - Specifies the target file name pattern to use to rename the log file on rotation,
410 * before passing it to the file collector. The pattern may contain the same
411 * placeholders as the \c file_name parameter. By default, no renaming is done,
412 * i.e. the written log file keeps its name according to \c file_name.
413 * \li \c open_mode - File open mode. The mode should be presented in form of mask compatible to
414 * <tt>std::ios_base::openmode</tt>. If not specified, <tt>trunc | out</tt> will be used.
415 * \li \c rotation_size - Specifies the approximate size, in characters written, of the temporary file
416 * upon which the file is passed to the file collector. Note the size does
417 * not count any possible character conversions that may take place during
418 * writing to the file. If not specified, the file won't be rotated upon reaching
420 * \li \c time_based_rotation - Specifies the predicate for time-based file rotation.
421 * No time-based file rotations will be performed, if not specified.
422 * \li \c enable_final_rotation - Specifies a flag, whether or not perform log file rotation on
423 * sink backend destruction. By default, is \c true.
424 * \li \c auto_flush - Specifies a flag, whether or not to automatically flush the file after each
425 * written log record. By default, is \c false.
426 * \li \c auto_newline_mode - Specifies automatic trailing newline insertion mode. Must be a value of
427 * the \c auto_newline_mode enum. By default, is <tt>auto_newline_mode::insert_if_missing</tt>.
