/**

The AsyncAppender decouples logging event creation from output

by processing log events asynchronously.

The AsyncAppender stores the logging event in a bounded buffer

and then returns control to the application.

A separate thread forwards events to the attached appender(s).

An AsyncAppender is used when you configure a logger to be asynchronous.

These AsyncAppender(s) use [the default values](@ref log4cxx::AsyncAppender::setOption) for all options

and they cannot be changed using configuration file entries.

For more control over the AsyncAppender options,

use <b>appender-ref</b> element in the logger configuration instead. 

<b>Important notes:</b>

- Your application must call LogManager::shutdown when it exits

to prevent undefined behaviour when using this appender.

- Runtime configuration of options requires an XML configuration file

(see the example below).

This appender is useful when outputting to a slow event sink,

for example, unbuffered output to a file,

a remote SMTP server or a database.

Note that configuring a FileAppender to use [buffered output](@ref log4cxx::FileAppender::setOption)

usually results in lower overhead than

attaching the FileAppender to an AsyncAppender

as the inter-thread communication overhead

can exceed the time to add a message to a buffer.

You can attach multiple appenders to an AsyncAppender by:

- calling AsyncAppender::addAppender repeatedly when progammatically configuring Log4cxx.

- adding multiple <b>appender-ref</b> elements

to the <b>appender class="AsyncAppender"</b> element

when using runtime configuration.

Here is a sample configuration file:

\include async-example.xml

### Configurable properties

\anchor BlockingProperty When the application produces logging events faster

than the background thread is able to process,

the bounded buffer can become full.

In this situation AsyncAppender will either

block until the bounded buffer has a free slot or

discard the event.

The [Blocking property](@ref AsyncAppender::setOption) controls which behaviour is used.

When events are discarded,

the logged output will indicate this

with a log message prefixed with <i>Discarded</i>.

The output may contain one <i>Discarded</i> message per logger name,

the logging event of the highest level for each logger

whose events have been discarded.

To determine whether the application produces logging events faster

than the background thread is able to process, enable [Log4cxx internal debugging](internal-debugging.html).

The AsyncAppender will output a histogram of queue length frequencies when closed.

See AsyncAppender::setOption for details.
