Deprecated. Use newBuilder().

Create a File Appender.

Parameters:

fileName - The name and path of the file.

append - "True" if the file should be appended to, "false" if it should be overwritten. The default is "true".

name - The name of the Appender.

immediateFlush - "true" if the contents should be flushed on every write, "false" otherwise. The default is "true".

bufferSizeStr - The buffer size, defaults to .

ignore - If "true" (default) exceptions encountered when appending events are logged; otherwise they are propagated to the caller.

layout - The layout to use to format the event. If no layout is provided the default PatternLayout will be used.
