Prerequisites

GDebugController requires GInitable and GObject.

Known Implementations

GDebugController is implemented by GDebugControllerDBus.

Includes

#include <gio/gio.h>

Description

GDebugController is an interface to expose control of debugging features and debug output.

It is implemented on Linux using GDebugControllerDBus, which exposes a D-Bus interface to allow authenticated peers to control debug features in this process.

Whether debug output is enabled is exposed as “debug-enabled”. This controls g_log_set_debug_enabled() by default. Application code may connect to the “notify” signal for it to control other parts of its debug infrastructure as necessary.

If your application or service is using the default GLib log writer function, creating one of the built-in implementations of GDebugController should be all that’s needed to dynamically enable or disable debug output.

Functions

g_debug_controller_get_debug_enabled ()

gboolean
g_debug_controller_get_debug_enabled (GDebugController *self);

Get the value of “debug-enabled”.

Parameters

self

a GDebugController

Returns

TRUE if debug output should be exposed, FALSE otherwise

g_debug_controller_set_debug_enabled ()

void
g_debug_controller_set_debug_enabled (GDebugController *self,
                                      gboolean debug_enabled);

Set the value of “debug-enabled”.

Parameters

self	a GDebugController
debug_enabled	`TRUE` if debug output should be exposed, `FALSE` otherwise
