}A string key specifying the key for the log file to browse. Keys can be obtained using the queryDescriptions method.
The line number for the first entry to be returned. If the parameter is not specified, then the operation returns with lines starting from the top of the log.
The number of lines to return. If not specified, then all lines are returned from the start value to the end of the file.
A LogHeader that includes the log lines. Sometimes fewer log lines are returned than were requested. For example, fewer lines are returned than expected if the client requests lines that do not exist or if the server limits the number of lines that it returns. If zero lines are returned, then the end of the log file may have been reached.
