## File-sink-set-rotation
Update the rotation configuration used by a `FileSink`. This helper changes direct runtime file rotation behavior without rebuilding or reopening the sink.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn FileSink::set_rotation(self : FileSink, rotation : FileRotation?) -> Unit {
```
#### input
- `self : FileSink` - File sink whose rotation policy should change.
- `rotation : FileRotation?` - New rotation config, or `None` to disable rotation.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- This method updates runtime rotation policy only.
- Passing `None` disables rotation.
- It does not reopen the sink or rotate immediately by itself.
- Append and auto-flush settings are left unchanged.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Runtime Rotation Tuning
When a concrete file sink should enable or change rotation dynamically:
```moonbit
sink.set_rotation(Some(file_rotation(1024, max_backups=3)))
```
In this example, direct runtime rotation behavior is updated without rebuilding the sink.
#### When Need To Disable Rotation
When the file sink should stop rotating:
```moonbit
sink.set_rotation(None)
```
In this example, the sink has its rotation policy cleared explicitly.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If callers only want to remove rotation, `clear_rotation()` is the more direct API.
- This helper does not report past rotation failures; use `rotation_failures()` or `state()` for diagnostics.
### Notes
1. Use this helper when setting a full runtime rotation config.
2. It is useful for operational tuning on a concrete file sink without rebuilding it.
