+    Hook for logging the solution to file after the step using pickle.
+
+    Please configure the hook to your liking by manipulating class attributes.
+    You must set a custom path to a directory like so:
+
+    ```
+    LogToFile.path = '/my/directory/'
+    ```
+
+    Keep in mind that the hook will overwrite files without warning!
+    You can give a custom file name by setting the ``file_name`` class attribute and give a custom way of rendering the
+    index associated with individual files by giving a different lambda function ``format_index`` class attribute. This
+    lambda should accept one index and return one string.
+
+    You can also give a custom ``logging_condition`` lambda, accepting the current level if you want to log selectively.
+
+    Importantly, you may need to change ``process_solution``. By default, this will return a numpy view of the solution.
+    Of course, if you are not using numpy, you need to change this. Again, this is a lambda accepting the level.
+
+    After the fact, you can use the classmethod `get_path` to get the path to a certain data or the `load` function to
+    directly load the solution at a given index. Just configure the hook like you did when you recorded the data
+    beforehand.
+
+    Finally, be aware that using this hook with MPI parallel runs may lead to different tasks overwriting files. Make
+    sure to give a different `file_name` for each task that writes files.
