<DL>
<DD>Return the root logger for the current logger repository.
<p>
The <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/Category.html#getName()"><CODE>Logger.getName()</CODE></A> method for the root logger always returns
string value: "root". However, calling
<code>Logger.getLogger("root")</code> does not retrieve the root
logger but a logger just under root named "root".
<p>
In other words, calling this method is the only way to retrieve the
root logger.
