[Log4cpp-devel] How does one "destroy" a category?

[<log...@li...>]

Hi all,

A silly question, I'm looking to use log4cpp for a data collection
system I'm working on.

To help in post mortem analysis it's often useful to separate out log
messages by some common key to be able to piece out what happened.  The
system starts multiple transaction state machines each identified by a
unique ID, creating them at runtime.  They are one-shot, so once
complete, the objects are freed.

It appears it would make sense for each transaction state machine to
have its own log category, as the log messages can then be grepped for
and it ensures *every* log message from that log instance will have the
ID prepended.

It seems I can create as many category objects as I like, but what isn't
clear is what happens to the category objects when they're no longer
needed: I don't see any way to close them off or destroy them.  (I could
call delete(&category); but I'm not sure where else the pointer may be
used.)

Is there a way to remove categories once they're no longer in use?
Regards,
