XPRSsetlogfile (SETLOGFILE)

XPRSsetlogfile

SETLOGFILE


Purpose
This directs all Optimizer output to a log file.
Synopsis
int XPRS_CC XPRSsetlogfile(XPRSprob prob, const char *filename);
SETLOGFILE filename
Arguments
prob 
The current problem.
filename 
A string of up to MAXPROBNAMELENGTH characters containing the file name to which all logging output should be written. If set to NULL, redirection of the output will stop and all screen output will be turned back on (except for DLL users where screen output is always turned off).
Example
The following directs output to the file logfile.log:
XPRSinit(NULL);
XPRScreateprob(&prob);
XPRSsetlogfile(prob,"logfile.log");
Further information
1. It is recommended that a log file be set up for each problem being worked on, since it provides a means for obtaining any errors or warnings output by the Optimizer during the solution process.
2. If output is redirected with XPRSsetlogfile all screen output will be turned off.
3. Alternatively, an output callback can be defined using XPRSaddcbmessage, which will be called every time a line of text is output. Defining a user output callback will turn all screen output off. To discard all output messages the OUTPUTLOG integer control can be set to 0.
