FOLKS_DEBUG_STATUS_LOG_DOMAIN

#define FOLKS_DEBUG_STATUS_LOG_DOMAIN "folks-status"

Log domain for the status messages logged as a result of calling folks_debug_emit_print_status().

folks_debug_dup ()

FolksDebug *        folks_debug_dup                     (void);

Create or return the singleton folks_debug_new() class instance. If the instance doesn't exist already, it will be created with no debug domains enabled.

This function is thread-safe.

Since 0.5.1

folks_debug_dup_with_flags ()

FolksDebug *        folks_debug_dup_with_flags          (const gchar *debug_flags,

Create or return the singleton folks_debug_new() class instance. If the instance doesn't exist already, it will be created with the given set of debug domains enabled. Otherwise, the existing instance will have its set of enabled domains changed to the provided set.

Since 0.5.1

struct FolksDebug

struct FolksDebug;

Manage debug output and status reporting for all folks objects. All GLib debug logging calls are passed through a log handler in this class, which allows debug domains to be outputted according to whether they've been enabled by being passed to folks_debug_dup().

Since 0.5.1

The "colour-enabled" property

  "colour-enabled"           gboolean              : Read / Write

colour-enabled.

Default value: FALSE

The "debug-output-enabled" property

  "debug-output-enabled"     gboolean              : Read / Write

Whether debug output is enabled. This is orthogonal to the set of enabled debug domains; filtering of debug output as a whole is done after filtering by enabled domains.

Default value: FALSE

Since 0.5.1

The "print-status" signal

void                user_function                      (FolksDebug *debug,
                                                        gpointer    user_data)      : Run Last

Signal emitted in the main thread whenever objects should print their current status. All significant objects in the library should connect to this and print their current status in some suitable format when it's emitted.

Client processes should emit this signal by calling folks_debug_emit_print_status().

Since 0.5.1
