Class StatusLine

java.lang.Object

galileo.dht.StatusLine

public class StatusLine
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides a very simple way to inform users of status information at a glance. For more sophisticated debugging, the user should consult relevant log files; however, this simple status log can provide a starting point. The StatusLine should be updated infrequently; each call will open and close the status file unless a standard out based StatusLine is being used.
