/**
 * A <code>FileHandler</code> publishes log records to a set of log
 * files.  A maximum file size can be specified; as soon as a log file
 * reaches the size limit, it is closed and the next file in the set
 * is taken.
 *
 * <p><strong>Configuration:</strong> Values of the subsequent
 * <code>LogManager</code> properties are taken into consideration
 * when a <code>FileHandler</code> is initialized.  If a property is
 * not defined, or if it has an invalid value, a default is taken
 * without an exception being thrown.
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li><code>java.util.FileHandler.level</code> - specifies
 *     the initial severity level threshold. Default value:
 *     <code>Level.ALL</code>.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>java.util.FileHandler.filter</code> - specifies
 *     the name of a Filter class. Default value: No Filter.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>java.util.FileHandler.formatter</code> - specifies
 *     the name of a Formatter class. Default value:
 *     <code>java.util.logging.XMLFormatter</code>.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>java.util.FileHandler.encoding</code> - specifies
 *     the name of the character encoding. Default value:
 *     the default platform encoding.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>java.util.FileHandler.limit</code> - specifies the number
 *     of bytes a log file is approximately allowed to reach before it
 *     is closed and the handler switches to the next file in the
 *     rotating set.  A value of zero means that files can grow
 *     without limit.  Default value: 0 (unlimited growth).</li>
 *
 * <li><code>java.util.FileHandler.count</code> - specifies the number
 *     of log files through which this handler cycles.  Default value:
 *     1.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>java.util.FileHandler.pattern</code> - specifies a
 *     pattern for the location and name of the produced log files.
 *     See the section on <a href="#filePatterns">file name
 *     patterns</a> for details.  Default value:
 *     <code>"%h/java%u.log"</code>.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>java.util.FileHandler.append</code> - specifies
 *     whether the handler will append log records to existing
 *     files, or whether the handler will clear log files
 *     upon switching to them. Default value: <code>false</code>,
 *     indicating that files will be cleared.</li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p><a name="filePatterns"><strong>File Name Patterns:</strong></a>
 * The name and location and log files are specified with pattern
 * strings. The handler will replace the following character sequences
 * when opening log files:
 *
 * <p><ul>
 * <li><code>/</code> - replaced by the platform-specific path name
 *     separator.  This value is taken from the system property
 *     <code>file.separator</code>.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>%t</code> - replaced by the platform-specific location of
 *     the directory intended for temporary files.  This value is
 *     taken from the system property <code>java.io.tmpdir</code>.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>%h</code> - replaced by the location of the home
 *     directory of the current user.  This value is taken from the
 *     system property <code>file.separator</code>.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>%g</code> - replaced by a generation number for
 *     distinguisthing the individual items in the rotating set 
 *     of log files.  The generation number cycles through the
 *     sequence 0, 1, ..., <code>count</code> - 1.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>%u</code> - replaced by a unique number for
 *     distinguisthing the output files of several concurrently
 *     running processes.  The <code>FileHandler</code> starts
 *     with 0 when it tries to open a log file.  If the file
 *     cannot be opened because it is currently in use,
 *     the unique number is incremented by one and opening
 *     is tried again.  These steps are repeated until the
 *     opening operation succeeds.
 *
 *     <p>FIXME: Is the following correct? Please review.  The unique
 *     number is determined for each log file individually when it is
 *     opened upon switching to the next file.  Therefore, it is not
 *     correct to assume that all log files in a rotating set bear the
 *     same unique number.
 *
 *     <p>FIXME: The Javadoc for the Sun reference implementation
 *     says: "Note that the use of unique ids to avoid conflicts is
 *     only guaranteed to work reliably when using a local disk file
 *     system." Why? This needs to be mentioned as well, in case
 *     the reviewers decide the statement is true.  Otherwise,
 *     file a bug report with Sun.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>%%</code> - replaced by a single percent sign.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>If the pattern string does not contain <code>%g</code> and
 * <code>count</code> is greater than one, the handler will append
 * the string <code>.%g</code> to the specified pattern.
 *
 * <p>If the handler attempts to open a log file, this log file
 * is being used at the time of the attempt, and the pattern string
 * does not contain <code>%u</code>, the handler will append
 * the string <code>.%u</code> to the specified pattern. This
 * step is performed after any generation number has been
 * appended.
 *
 * <p><em>Examples for the GNU platform:</em> 
 *
 * <p><ul>
 *
 * <li><code>%h/java%u.log</code> will lead to a single log file
 *     <code>/home/janet/java0.log</code>, assuming <code>count</code>
 *     equals 1, the user's home directory is
 *     <code>/home/janet</code>, and the attempt to open the file
 *     succeeds.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>%h/java%u.log</code> will lead to three log files
 *     <code>/home/janet/java0.log.0</code>,
 *     <code>/home/janet/java0.log.1</code>, and
 *     <code>/home/janet/java0.log.2</code>,
 *     assuming <code>count</code> equals 3, the user's home
 *     directory is <code>/home/janet</code>, and all attempts
 *     to open files succeed.</li>
 *
 * <li><code>%h/java%u.log</code> will lead to three log files
 *     <code>/home/janet/java0.log.0</code>,
 *     <code>/home/janet/java1.log.1</code>, and
 *     <code>/home/janet/java0.log.2</code>,
 *     assuming <code>count</code> equals 3, the user's home
 *     directory is <code>/home/janet</code>, and the attempt
 *     to open <code>/home/janet/java0.log.1</code> fails.</li>
 *
 * </ul>
