6/**
7 * Simple MultiLogChannel that takes the logdata, formats it textually, and
8 * writes it to a text device, either a file or the screen, yay! This takes
9 * the place of the old standard logging facility.
10 * The entries in the format follow the standard printf % style, and are as
11 * follows:
12 * <ul>
13 * <li>%y - current year</li>
14 * <li>%m - current month</li>
15 * <li>%d - current day</li>
16 * <li>%h - current hour (24-hour format)</li>
17 * <li>%M - current minute</li>
18 * <li>%s - current seccond</li>
19 * <li>%l - Loglevel (numerical)</li>
20 * <li>%f - Filename</li>
21 * <li>%L - Line number</li>
22 * <li>%t - Full text of the log entry</li>
23 * </ul>
