Log::Log4perl::MDC - Mapped Diagnostic Context
Log::Log4perl allows loggers to maintain global thread-specific data,
called the Nested Diagnostic Context (NDC) and
Mapped Diagnostic Context (MDC).
The MDC is a simple thread-specific hash table, in which the application
can stuff values under certain keys and retrieve them later
via the "%X{key}" placeholder in
Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayouts.
- Log::Log4perl::MDC->put($key, $value);
-
Store a value
$value under key $key in the map.
- my $value = Log::Log4perl::MDC->get($key);
-
Retrieve the content of the map under the specified key.
Typically done by
%X{key} in
Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout.
If no value exists to the given key, undef is returned.
- my $text = Log::Log4perl::MDC->remove();
-
Delete all entries from the map.
- Log::Log4perl::MDC->get_context();
-
Returns a reference to the hash table.
Please note that all of the methods above are class methods, there's no
instances of this class. Since the thread model in perl 5.8.0 is
``no shared data unless explicitly requested'' the data structures
used are just global (and therefore thread-specific).
