/**
A flexible layout configurable with pattern string.
<p>The goal of this class is to #format a {@link
spi::LoggingEvent LoggingEvent} and return the results as a string.
The results depend on the <em>conversion pattern</em>.
<p>The conversion pattern is closely related to the conversion
pattern of the printf function in C. A conversion pattern is
composed of literal text and format control expressions called
<em>conversion specifiers</em>.
<p><i>You are free to insert any literal text within the conversion
pattern.</i>
<p>Each conversion specifier starts with a percent sign (\%) and is
followed by optional <em>format modifiers</em> and a <em>conversion
character</em>. The conversion character specifies the type of
data, e.g. logger, level, date, thread name. The format
modifiers control such things as field width, padding, left and
right justification. The following is a simple example.
<p>Let the conversion pattern be <b>"\%-5p [\%t]: \%m\%n"</b> and assume
that the log4cxx environment was set to use a PatternLayout. Then the
statements
<pre>
LoggerPtr root = Logger::getRoot();
root->debug("Message 1");
root->warn("Message 2");
</pre>
would yield the output
<pre>
DEBUG [main]: Message 1
WARN [main]: Message 2
</pre>
<p>Note that there is no explicit separator between text and
conversion specifiers. The pattern parser knows when it has reached
the end of a conversion specifier when it reads a conversion
character. In the example above the conversion specifier
<b>\%-5p</b> means the level of the logging event should be left
justified to a width of five characters.
The recognized conversion characters are
<p>
<table border="1" CELLPADDING="8">
<tr>
<td align=center><b>Conversion Character</b></td>
<td align=center><b>Effect</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>c</b></td>
<td>Used to output the logger of the logging event. The
logger conversion specifier can be optionally followed by
<em>precision specifier</em>, that is a decimal constant in
brackets.
<p>If a precision specifier is given, then only the corresponding
number of right most components of the logger name will be
printed. By default the logger name is printed in full.
<p>For example, for the logger name "a.b.c" the pattern
<b>\%c{2}</b> will output "b.c".
</td>
</tr>
<tr> <td align=center><b>d</b></td> <td>Used to output the date of
the logging event. The date conversion specifier may be
followed by a set of braces containing a
date and time pattern string compatible with java.text.SimpleDateFormat,
<em>ABSOLUTE</em>, <em>DATE</em> or <em>ISO8601</em>.
For example, <b>%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS}</b>,
<b>%d{dd&nbsp;MMM&nbsp;yyyy&nbsp;HH:mm:ss,SSS}</b> or
<b>%d{DATE}</b>. If no date format specifier is given then
ISO8601 format is assumed.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>F</b></td>
<td>Used to output the file name where the logging request was
issued.
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>l</b></td>
<td>Used to output location information of the caller which generated
the logging event.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>L</b></td>
<td>Used to output the line number from where the logging request
was issued.
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>m</b></td>
<td>Used to output the application supplied message associated with
the logging event.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>n</b></td>
<td>Outputs the platform dependent line separator character or
characters.
<p>This conversion character offers practically the same
performance as using non-portable line separator strings such as
"\n", or "\r\n". Thus, it is the preferred way of specifying a
line separator.
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>p</b></td>
<td>Used to output the level of the logging event.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>r</b></td>
<td>Used to output the number of milliseconds elapsed since the start
of the application until the creation of the logging event.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>t</b></td>
<td>Used to output the name of the thread that generated the
logging event.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>x</b></td>
<td>Used to output the NDC (nested diagnostic context) associated
with the thread that generated the logging event.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>X</b></td>
<td>
<p>Used to output the MDC (mapped diagnostic context) associated
with the thread that generated the logging event. The <b>X</b>
conversion character <em>must</em> be followed by the key for the
map placed between braces, as in <b>\%X{clientNumber}</b> where
<code>clientNumber</code> is the key. The value in the MDC
corresponding to the key will be output.</p>
<p>See MDC class for more details.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center><b>\%</b></td>
<td>The sequence \%\% outputs a single percent sign.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>By default the relevant information is output as is. However,
with the aid of format modifiers it is possible to change the
minimum field width, the maximum field width and justification.
<p>The optional format modifier is placed between the percent sign
and the conversion character.
<p>The first optional format modifier is the <em>left justification
flag</em> which is just the minus (-) character. Then comes the
optional <em>minimum field width</em> modifier. This is a decimal
constant that represents the minimum number of characters to
output. If the data item requires fewer characters, it is padded on
either the left or the right until the minimum width is
reached. The default is to pad on the left (right justify) but you
can specify right padding with the left justification flag. The
padding character is space. If the data item is larger than the
minimum field width, the field is expanded to accommodate the
data. The value is never truncated.
<p>This behavior can be changed using the <em>maximum field
width</em> modifier which is designated by a period followed by a
decimal constant. If the data item is longer than the maximum
field, then the extra characters are removed from the
<em>beginning</em> of the data item and not from the end. For
example, it the maximum field width is eight and the data item is
ten characters long, then the first two characters of the data item
are dropped. This behavior deviates from the printf function in C
where truncation is done from the end.
<p>Below are various format modifier examples for the logger
conversion specifier.

</tr>

<td align=center>false</td>
<td align=center>20</td>
<td align=center>none</td>
<td>Left pad with spaces if the logger name is less than 20
characters long.
<tr> <td align=center>\%-20c</td> <td align=center>true</td> <td
align=center>20</td> <td align=center>none</td> <td>Right pad with
spaces if the logger name is less than 20 characters long.
<tr>
<td align=center>\%.30c</td>
<td align=center>NA</td>
<td align=center>none</td>
<td align=center>30</td>
<td>Truncate from the beginning if the logger name is longer than 30
characters.
<tr>
<td align=center>\%20.30c</td>
<td align=center>false</td>
<td align=center>20</td>
<td align=center>30</td>
<td>Left pad with spaces if the logger name is shorter than 20
characters. However, if logger name is longer than 30 characters,
then truncate from the beginning.
<tr>
<td align=center>\%-20.30c</td>
<td align=center>true</td>
<td align=center>20</td>
<td align=center>30</td>
<td>Right pad with spaces if the logger name is shorter than 20
characters. However, if logger name is longer than 30 characters,
then truncate from the beginning.
</table>
<p>Below are some examples of conversion patterns.
<p><b>\%r [\%t] \%-5p \%c \%x - \%m\n</b>
<p>This is essentially the TTCC layout.
<p><b>\%-6r [\%15.15t] \%-5p \%30.30c \%x - \%m\n</b>
<p>Similar to the TTCC layout except that the relative time is
right padded if less than 6 digits, thread name is right padded if
less than 15 characters and truncated if longer and the logger
name is left padded if shorter than 30 characters and truncated if
longer.

Philip E. Margolis' highly recommended book "C -- a Software
Engineering Approach", ISBN 0-387-97389-3.
