Category const*
setCategory(
CategoryHolder* categoryHolder,
char const* categoryName);Add to the category registry of this logger manager a new category having the specified categoryName and default threshold levels if categoryName is not present in the registry and the number of categories in the registry is less than the registry capacity. Return the address of the (possibly newly-created) non-modifiable category having categoryName, if such a category exists, and the address of the non-modifiable Default Category otherwise. If the specified categoryHolder is non-null, then also load into categoryHolder the returned category and its maximum level and link categoryHolder to the category if it has not yet been linked. The behavior is undefined unless categoryName is null-terminated. Note that a valid category address is always returned.
