## File-sink-set-policy
Apply a bundled runtime file policy update to a `FileSink`. This helper updates append mode, auto-flush, and rotation together through one policy object on the concrete sink.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn FileSink::set_policy(self : FileSink, policy : FileSinkPolicy) -> Unit {
```
#### input
- `self : FileSink` - File sink whose runtime file policy should change.
- `policy : FileSinkPolicy` - Bundled runtime file policy to apply.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- This method copies `policy.append`, `policy.auto_flush`, and `policy.rotation` onto the sink.
- It updates the whole runtime file policy in one call instead of changing each field separately.
- It does not reopen the sink, rotate immediately, or report success with a return value.
- It is broader than `set_append_mode(...)`, `set_auto_flush(...)`, or `set_rotation(...)` because it applies all policy fields together.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Bundled Runtime Policy Changes
When append, flush, and rotation should change together on a direct file sink:
```moonbit
sink.set_policy(FileSinkPolicy::new(
append=true,
auto_flush=false,
rotation=Some(file_rotation(2048, max_backups=2)),
))
```
In this example, runtime file behavior is updated as one cohesive policy change.
#### When Restore A Policy Snapshot
When a previously captured or computed policy should be reapplied:
```moonbit
sink.set_policy(policy)
```
In this example, callers can restore a whole policy object without splitting it into separate setter calls.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If callers only need to change one field, a narrower setter may be clearer.
- This helper does not report past open, write, flush, or rotation failures; inspect the failure counters or `state()` separately when diagnostics matter.
### Notes
1. Use this helper when runtime file policy should be treated as one cohesive object.
2. It pairs naturally with `policy()` and `default_policy()`.
