//! A rolling file appender.
//!
//! Creates a new log file at a fixed frequency as defined by [`Rotation`].
//! Logs will be written to this file for the duration of the period and will automatically roll over
//! to the newly created log file once the time period has elapsed.
//!
//! The log file is created at the specified directory and file name prefix which *may* be appended with
//! the date and time.
//!
//! The following helpers are available for creating a rolling file appender.
//!
//! - [`Rotation::minutely()`][minutely]: A new log file in the format of `some_directory/log_file_name_prefix.yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm`
//!   will be created minutely (once per minute)
//! - [`Rotation::hourly()`][hourly]: A new log file in the format of `some_directory/log_file_name_prefix.yyyy-MM-dd-HH`
//!   will be created hourly
//! - [`Rotation::daily()`][daily]: A new log file in the format of `some_directory/log_file_name_prefix.yyyy-MM-dd`
//!   will be created daily
//! - [`Rotation::never()`][never()]: This will result in log file located at `some_directory/log_file_name`
//!
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! # fn docs() {
//! use tracing_appender::rolling::{RollingFileAppender, Rotation};
//! let file_appender = RollingFileAppender::new(Rotation::HOURLY, "/some/directory", "prefix.log");
//! # }
