## NAME
    [Log::Any::Adapter::File] - Simple adapter for logging to files

## VERSION
    version 1.710

## SYNOPSIS
        use [Log::Any::Adapter] ('File', '/path/to/file.log');

        # or

        use [Log::Any::Adapter];
        ...
        [Log::Any::Adapter]->set('File', '/path/to/file.log');

        # with minimum level 'warn'

        use [Log::Any::Adapter] (
            'File', '/path/to/file.log', log_level => 'warn',
        );

## DESCRIPTION
    This simple built-in [Log::Any] adapter logs each message to the specified
    file, with a datestamp prefix and newline appended. The file is opened
    for append with autoflush on. If "flock" is available, the handle will
    be locked when writing.

    The "log_level" attribute may be set to define a minimum level to log.

    The "binmode" attribute may be set to define a PerlIO layer string to
    use when opening the file. The default is ":utf8".

    Category is ignored.
