Hi, does kotlin native (linux/mac/windows) have any good logging library that logs into a file and do rotation like logback/log4j? Most of the multiplatform logging libraries have only console logger by default on native platforms.

Hi <@U0B9ZL4N4>, I had explore to implement the same feature to native for windows but did not found much options.
So I have implemented the file based logger and below is the code for reference.
@OptIn(ExperimentalForeignApi::class)
    private fun writeToLogFile(message: String) {

        val file = fopen(logFilePath, "a") ?: return // Open the file in append mode
        try {
            memScoped {
                fprintf(file, "%s\n", message.cstr)
            }
        } finally {
            fclose(file)
        }
    }
Also, please let me know if you found the resolution like log4net for kotlin native.

Yeah, seems like I will also endup doing something like that, but using kotlinx-io library (<https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-io/blob/master/core/api/kotlinx-io-core.api#L213-L226>)  as a FileAppender for kotlin-logging  (<https://github.com/oshai/kotlin-logging/blob/master/src/nativeTest/kotlin/io/github/oshai/kotlinlogging/SimpleNativeTest.kt#L18>)
