There is nothing preventing you from having other application-specific files that you manage yourself. Remember that the log file is mostly a programming and debug tool and when an app is run normally log output won't be produced. We can add different categories or change the parameter list a bit to make it more flexible for the programmer. Supporting n number of files is probably just adding needless complexity. ka |
