/**
 * @class ACE_Logging_Strategy
 *
 * @brief This class provides the hooks to control the output produced
 * by any of the network services.
 *
 * Depending upon when this service is invoked and with what
 * flags, the output of other network services can be
 * controlled. The output can be streamed to stderr, to a file,
 * to a logging daemon, or it can be set to be "silent".
 * If logging records are output to a file, the file can be set
 * to a maximum size and repeatedly split into new files.  The
 * log file size can be limited at any logging point (i.e.,
 * application, client logging daemon, or server logging daemon)
 * by specifying the -i <sample_interval_in_secs> and -m
 * <max_size_in_KB> options for the Logging_Strategy class in a
 * svc.conf file.
 *
 * By default, two logfiles are generated.  It's possible, however, to
 * generate as many logfiles as necessary to store all the
 * information.  To achieve this, it is only necessary to indicate the
 * maximum size of the logfiles via the -m option and the process will
 * generate automatically the logfiles.  You can control the total
 * number of logfiles created via the -n option.
 *
 * By using the -o option we can also choose the mode of organization
 * of the files, e.g., the first one is the normal used in Unix
 * systems (when cron rotates the logs it keeps the lowest number the
 * most recent one), the second is for increasing speed (we only
 * create a new log file, and don't rotate the others (fewer accesses
 * to disk)).

   * @arg '-f' Pass in the flags (such as OSTREAM, STDERR, LOGGER, VERBOSE,

   * @arg '-i' The interval (in seconds) at which the logfile size is sampled
   *           (default is 0, i.e., do not sample by default).
   * @arg '-k' Set the logging key.
   * @arg '-m' Maximum logfile size in Kbytes.
   * @arg '-n' Set the program name for the %n format specifier.
   * @arg '-N' The maximum number of logfiles that we want created.
   * @arg '-o' Specifies that we want the no standard logfiles ordering
   *           (fastest processing in <handle_timeout>).  Default is not to
   *           order logfiles.
   * @arg '-p' Pass in the process-wide priorities to either enable (e.g.,
   *           DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, NOTICE, ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT,
   *           EMERGENCY) or to disable (e.g., ~DEBUG, ~INFO, ~WARNING,
   *           ~NOTICE, ~ERROR, ~CRITICAL, ~ALERT, ~EMERGENCY).
   * @arg '-s' Ensure that the OSTREAM flag is set.
   * @arg '-t' Pass in the thread-wide priorities to either enable (e.g.,
   *           DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, NOTICE, ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT,
   *           EMERGENCY) or to disable (e.g., ~DEBUG, ~INFO, ~WARNING,
   *           ~NOTICE, ~ERROR, ~CRITICAL, ~ALERT, ~EMERGENCY).
   * @arg '-w' Cause the logfile to be wiped out, both on startup and on
   *           reconfiguration.
