26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; This file implements log file writing support for ERC.
30 ;; Quick start:
32 ;; (require 'erc-log)
33 ;; (setq erc-log-channels-directory "/path/to/logfiles") ; must be writable
34 ;; (erc-log-enable)
36 ;; Or:
38 ;; M-x customize-variable erc-modules, and add "log".
40 ;; There are two ways to setup logging. The first (default) method
41 ;; will save buffers on /part, /quit, or killing the channel
42 ;; buffer.
44 ;; The second will write to the log files on each incoming or outgoing
45 ;; line - this may not be optimal on a laptop HDD. To use this
46 ;; method, add the following to the above instructions.
48 ;; (setq erc-save-buffer-on-part nil
49 ;; erc-save-queries-on-quit nil
50 ;; erc-log-write-after-send t
51 ;; erc-log-write-after-insert t)
53 ;; If you only want to save logs for some buffers, customise the
54 ;; variable `erc-enable-logging'.
56 ;; How it works:
58 ;; If logging is enabled, at some point, `erc-save-buffer-in-logs'
59 ;; will be called. The "end" of the buffer is taken from
60 ;; `erc-insert-marker', while `erc-last-saved-position' holds the
61 ;; position the buffer was last saved at (as a marker, or if the
62 ;; buffer hasn't been saved before, as the number 1 (point-min)).
64 ;; The region between `erc-last-saved-position' and
65 ;; `erc-insert-marker' is saved to the current buffer's logfile, and
66 ;; `erc-last-saved-position' is updated to reflect this.
68 ;;; History:
69 ;; 2003-04-26: logging code pulled out of erc.el. Switched to using
70 ;; markers.
72 ;;; TODO:
74 ;; * Really, we need to lock the logfiles somehow, so that if a user
75 ;; is running multiple emacsen and/or on the same channel as more
76 ;; than one user, only one process writes to the logfile. This is
77 ;; especially needed for those logfiles with no nick in them, as
78 ;; these would become corrupted.
79 ;; For a single emacs process, the problem could be solved using a
80 ;; variable which contained the names of buffers already being
81 ;; logged. This would require that logging be buffer-local,
82 ;; possibly not a bad thing anyway, since many people don't want to
83 ;; log the server buffer.
84 ;; For multiple emacsen the problem is trickier. On some systems,
85 ;; on could use the function `lock-buffer' and `unlock-buffer'.
86 ;; However, file locking isn't implemented on all platforms, for
87 ;; example, there is none on w32 systems.
88 ;; A third possibility might be to fake lockfiles. However, this
89 ;; might lead to problems if an emacs crashes, as the lockfile
90 ;; would be left lying around.
