class Foundation_API FileChannel: public Channel
	/// A Channel that writes to a file. This class supports
	/// flexible log file rotation and archiving, as well
	/// as automatic purging of archived log files.
	///
	/// Only the message's text is written, followed
	/// by a newline.
	///
	/// Chain this channel to a FormattingChannel with an
	/// appropriate Formatter to control what is in the text. 
	///
	/// The FileChannel support log file rotation based
	/// on log file size or time intervals.
	/// Archived log files can be compressed in gzip format.
	/// Older archived files can be automatically deleted
	/// (purged).
	///
	/// The rotation strategy can be specified with the
	/// "rotation" property, which can take one of the
	/// follwing values:
	///
	///   * never:         no log rotation
	///   * [day,][hh]:mm: the file is rotated on specified day/time
	///                    day - day is specified as long or short day name (Monday|Mon, Tuesday|Tue, ... );
	///                          day can be omitted, in which case log is rotated every day
	///                    hh  - valid hour range is 00-23;
	///                          hour can be omitted, in which case log is rotated every hour
	///                    mm  - valid minute range is 00-59;
	///                          minute must be specified
	///   * daily:         the file is rotated daily
	///   * weekly:        the file is rotated every seven days
	///   * monthly:       the file is rotated every 30 days
	///   * <n> minutes:   the file is rotated every <n> minutes, 
	///                    where <n> is an integer greater than zero.
	///   * <n> hours:     the file is rotated every <n> hours, where
	///                    <n> is an integer greater than zero.
	///   * <n> days:      the file is rotated every <n> days, where
	///                    <n> is an integer greater than zero.
	///   * <n> weeks:     the file is rotated every <n> weeks, where
	///                    <n> is an integer greater than zero.
	///   * <n> months:    the file is rotated every <n> months, where
	///                    <n> is an integer greater than zero and
	///                    a month has 30 days.
	///   * <n>:           the file is rotated when its size exceeds
	///                    <n> bytes.
	///   * <n> K:         the file is rotated when its size exceeds
	///                    <n> Kilobytes.
	///   * <n> M:         the file is rotated when its size exceeds
	///                    <n> Megabytes.
	///
	/// NOTE: For periodic log file rotation (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.),
	/// the date and time of log file creation or last rotation is
	/// written into the first line of the log file. This is because
	/// there is no reliable way to find out the real creation date of
	/// a file on many platforms (e.g., most Unix platforms do not
	/// provide the creation date, and Windows has its own issues
	/// with its "File System Tunneling Capabilities").
	///
	/// Using the "archive" property it is possible to specify
	/// how archived log files are named. The following values
	/// for the "archive" property are supported:
	///
	///   * number:     A number, starting with 0, is appended to
	///                 the name of archived log files. The newest
	///                 archived log file always has the number 0.
	///                 For example, if the log file is named
	///                 "access.log", and it fulfils the criteria
	///                 for rotation, the file is renamed to
	///                 "access.log.0". If a file named "access.log.0"
	///                 already exists, it is renamed to "access.log.1",
	///                 and so on.
	///   * timestamp:  A timestamp is appended to the log file name.
	///                 For example, if the log file is named
	///                 "access.log", and it fulfils the criteria
	///                 for rotation, the file is renamed to
	///                 "access.log.20050802110300".
	///
	/// Using the "times" property it is possible to specify
	/// time mode for the day/time based rotation. The following values
	/// for the "times" property are supported:
	///
	///   * utc:        Rotation strategy is based on UTC time (default).
	///   * local:      Rotation strategy is based on local time.
	///
	/// Archived log files can be compressed using the gzip compression
	/// method. Compressing can be controlled with the "compression"
	/// property. The following values for the "compress" property
	/// are supported:
	///
	///   * true:       Compress archived log files.
	///   * false:      Do not compress archived log files.
	///
	/// Archived log files can be automatically purged, either if
	/// they reach a certain age, or if the number of archived
	/// log files reaches a given maximum number. This is 
	/// controlled by the purgeAge and purgeCount properties.
	///
	/// The purgeAge property can have the following values:
	///
	///   * <n> [seconds]  the maximum age is <n> seconds.
	///   * <n> minutes:   the maximum age is <n> minutes.
	///   * <n> hours:     the maximum age is <n> hours.
	///   * <n> days:      the maximum age is <n> days.
	///   * <n> weeks:     the maximum age is <n> weeks.
	///   * <n> months:    the maximum age is <n> months, where a month has 30 days.
	///
	/// The purgeCount property has an integer value that
	/// specifies the maximum number of archived log files.
	/// If the number is exceeded, archived log files are 
	/// deleted, starting with the oldest.
	///
