Documentation
Hello,
Can someone please provide a source for some information on the
Conversion Pattern Syntax. Mostly I just want to know what the different
elements ("%F" and the like) are defined as?
I also would like to know the basic configuration attributes available
for the standard appenders provided.
I can't seem to find any documentation on these subjects.

Another question:
What is the difference between name and class in a category?
<!-- If no level element is specified, then the configurator MUST not -->
<!-- touch the level of the named category. -->
<!ELEMENT category (param*, (priority | level)?, appender-ref*)>
<!ATTLIST category
class CDATA #IMPLIED
name CDATA #REQUIRED
additivity (true | false) "true"
>
ie
<category name="???" class="???">
...
</category>

Do you mean for log formatting? Using PatternLayout? The PatternLayout
Javadoc page has a table with all the formatting characters and their
meanings:

I think those are appender-dependent, but they're based on the method names.
E.g. RollingFileAppender has a setFile method, so in log4j.xml, you add:
<param name="File" value="/path/to/logfile.log"/>
or in log4j.properties:
log4j.appender.APPENDERNAME.File=/path/to/logfile.log
Hope that helps, or did I misunderstand your question?
