 *
 * \brief  This example shows how to perform logging to several files simultaneously,
 *         with files being created on an attribute value basis - thread identifier in this case.
 *         In the example the application creates a number of threads and registers thread
 *         identifiers as attributes. Every thread performs logging, and the sink separates
 *         log records from different threads into different files.
