File Formats ============ Log File Format --------------- .. py:class:: buildbot.status.logfile.LogFile The master currently stores each logfile in a single file, which may have a standard compression applied. The format is a special case of the netstrings protocol - see http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt. The text in each netstring consists of a one-digit channel identifier followed by the data from that channel. The formatting is implemented in the LogFile class in :file:`buildbot/status/logfile.py`, and in particular by the :meth:`merge` method.
