Entry#

A single log-message, that was emited from a single point in the code. A single entry means, that it does not depend on the position in the log or the other messages around it. If it depends on other messages aroung it, then they also belong to the entry. In allmost all cases it should only be from a single line of the log-file. Only in special cases, does an entry stretched over more than a single line and these special cases must either have a concrete syntax or start with special markers.

An Entry after it is processed, this means it has an assigned RecordClass and all dates and times are converted to UTC. A Record knows about its content and has the ability to extract data from it.
