This PR adds the ability to force a
rotating_file_sink
to rotate its log files on-demand, in addition to the normal size-based rotation.This is a feature that I implemented as a custom sink for a project where we needed to be able to manually trigger rotation of logs. That implementation effectively required that the entire
rotating_file_sink
be copy/pasted (asrotating_file_sink
is marked asfinal
, androtate_()
is marked asprivate
).This feels like a generally-useful extension to the standard
rotating_file_sink
, that I thought it worth offering upstream.
