Synopsis

// In header: <boost/log/utility/init/from_settings.hpp>


template<typename CharT> 
  void register_sink_factory(const CharT * sink_name, 
                             function1< shared_ptr< sinks::sink< CharT > >, std::map< std::basic_string< CharT >, any > const & > const & factory);

Description

The function registers a factory for a sink. The factory will be called to create sink instance when the parser discovers the specified sink type in the settings file. The factory must accept a map of parameters [parameter name -> parameter value] that it may use to initialize the sink. The factory must return a non-NULL pointer to the constructed sink instance.

Parameters:

`factory`	Custom sink factory function
`sink_name`	The custom sink name. Must point to a zero-terminated sequence of characters, must not be NULL.
