I am using logrus for logging and have a few custom format loggers. Each is initialized to write to a different file like:
fp, _ := os.OpenFile(path, os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE, 0755)
// error handling left out for brevity
log.Out = fp
Later in the application, I need to change the file the logger is writing to (for a log rotation logic). What I want to achieve is to properly close the current file before changing the logger's output file. But the closest thing to the file handle logrus provides me is a Writer()
method that returns a io.PipeWriter
pointer. So would calling Close()
on the PipeWriter also close the underlying file?
If not, what are my options to do this, other than keeping the file pointer stored somewhere.
