// LogFile, the IOutputHandler implementation that writes to file.
//
// When created LogFile may open file right away or delay doing this.
// In the latter case it will buffer output up to certain size limit.
// When told to open the file, it will first flush its buffer. This allows to
// log events even before the log path is decided (for example, before or
// during reading configuration and/or parsing command line).
