<p>Once a LogFile has been added to a BuildStep with <code>addLog()</code>,
<code>addCompleteLog()</code>, <code>addHTMLLog()</code>, or <code>logfiles=</code>,
your BuildStep can retrieve it by using <code>getLog()</code>:
<pre class="example"> class MyBuildStep(ShellCommand):
logfiles = { "nodelog": "_test/node.log" }
def evaluateCommand(self, cmd):
nodelog = self.getLog("nodelog")
if "STARTED" in nodelog.getText():
return SUCCESS
else:
return FAILURE
</pre>
<p>For a complete list of the methods you can call on a LogFile, please
see the docstrings on the <code>IStatusLog</code> class in
<samp><span class="file">buildbot/interfaces.py</span></samp>.
