1 NSPR_LOG_FILE 2 ============= 3 4 This environment variable specifies the file to which log messages are 5 directed. 6 7 8 Syntax 9 ------ 10 11 :: 12 13 filespec 14 15 *filespec* is a filename. The exact syntax is platform specific. 16 17 18 Description 19 ----------- 20 21 Use this environment variable to specify a log file other than the 22 default. If :ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` is not in the environment, then log output 23 is written to ``stdout`` or ``stderr``, depending on the platform. Set 24 :ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` to the name of the log file you want to use. NSPR 25 logging, when enabled, writes to the file named in this environment 26 variable. 27 28 For MS Windows systems, you can set :ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` to the special 29 (case-sensitive) value ``WinDebug``. This value causes logging output to 30 be written using the Windows function ``OutputDebugString()``, which 31 writes to the debugger window.
