- Method Detail
  - getBytesWritten
```
long getBytesWritten()
```
    Retrieves the number of bytes written to the file.
    
    Returns:
    
    The number of bytes written to the file.
  - getLastRotationTime
```
OffsetDateTime getLastRotationTime()
```
    Retrieves the last time the file was rotated. If a file rotation never occurred, this value will be the time the server started.
    
    Returns:
    
    The last time file rotation occurred.
  - rotateIfNeeded
```
boolean rotateIfNeeded()
                throws IOException
```
    Checks the rotatable file for rotation then retention. The file is rotated if the configured RotationPolicy's are true. The old audit files are retained/deleted according to the RetentionPolicy's configured.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if rotation took place.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - If unable to rotateIfNeeded the audit file.
  - close
```
void close()
    throws IOException
```
    Closes the rotatable file.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - If an exception occurs while closing.
  - registerRotationHooks
```
void registerRotationHooks(RotationHooks rotationHooks)
```
    Registers hooks into the rotation process.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rotationHooks - The RotationHooks into the rotation process.
