reset_logfiles(casacalls_logfile=None, casa_logfile=None, prepend=False)[source]

Reset CASA/Pipeline logfiles for the current CASA/Pipeline session.

  • casa_logfile (str | None) -- Custom filename for the casa log. If None, a timestamped name is generated.

  • prepend (bool) -- If True, content from the previous casa logfile is copied to the beginning of the new logfile.

Return type:

None
