tp_debug_set_flags ()

void
tp_debug_set_flags (const gchar *flags_string);

Set the debug flags indicated by flags_string , in addition to any already set.

The parsing matches that of g_parse_debug_string().

If telepathy-glib was compiled with --disable-debug (not recommended), this function has no practical effect, since the debug messages it would enable were removed at compile time.

Since 0.6.1

tp_debug_set_persistent ()

void
tp_debug_set_persistent (gboolean persistent);

Used to enable persistent operation of the connection manager process for debugging purposes.

tp_debug_divert_messages ()

void
tp_debug_divert_messages (const gchar *filename);

Open the given file for writing and duplicate its file descriptor to be used for stdout and stderr. This has the effect of closing the previous stdout and stderr, and sending all messages that would have gone there to the given file instead.

By default the file is truncated and hence overwritten each time the process is executed. Since version 0.7.14, if the filename is prefixed with '+' then the file is not truncated and output is added at the end of the file.

Passing NULL to this function is guaranteed to have no effect. This is so you can call it with the recommended usage tp_debug_divert_messages (g_getenv ("MYAPP_LOGFILE")) and it won't do anything if the environment variable is not set.

This function still works if telepathy-glib was compiled without debug support.

Since 0.7.1

tp_debug_timestamped_log_handler ()

void
tp_debug_timestamped_log_handler (const gchar *log_domain,
                                  GLogLevelFlags log_level,
                                  const gchar *message,
                                  gpointer ignored);

A GLogFunc that prepends the UTC time (currently in ISO 8601 format, with microsecond resolution) to the message, then calls g_log_default_handler.

Intended usage is:

1
2

if (g_getenv ("MYPROG_TIMING") != NULL)
  g_log_set_default_handler (tp_debug_timestamped_log_handler, NULL);

If telepathy-glib was compiled with --disable-debug (not recommended), this function is equivalent to g_log_default_handler().

Changed in 0.9.0: timestamps are now printed in UTC, in RFC-3339 format. Previously, they were printed in local time, in a format similar to RFC-3339.

Since 0.7.1
