| Default constructor.
void | init ()
| Initialize storage.
void | step ()
| Shifts storage position for another time step.
void | finalize ()

## Detailed Description

Logging into dirfile with buffer in memory.

Dirfile is a special format used by the kst program. See documentation of kst for description.

This format is used to store scalars, hence multivariate RVs must be separated.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

dirfilelog::dirfilelog | ( | std::string | dirname0,
|  | int | maxlen0 |
| ) |  |  | `[inline]`

Default constructor.

Parameters:

  | dirname0 | name of the directory in which to store the results
  | maxlen0 | length of the memory buffers, when full the buffers will be dumped to HDD and returned to the beginning.

## Member Function Documentation

void dirfilelog::write_buffers | ( | int | Len | ) |

Write memory storage to disk.

Parameters:

  | Len | length of buffer to be written, if 0 the file is truncated at 0.

References dirname, logger::entries, memlog::maxlen, scalarnames, and memlog::vectors.
