Hello world!
I am trying to enable debugging in i3, and I am confused by the number
of different options to do this.
command line config option
-- -------------------- -----------------------------
1 i3 --shmlog-size=X shmlog on|off|toggle|<size>
2 i3 -V ?
3 i3 -d all ?
4 ? debuglog on|off|toggle
So my question are:
Which one is the recommended way ?
Does `shmlog on` imply `debuglog on` ?
Does `-d all` imply `-V` ?
What size do you recommend for the shmlog size ?
May I assume that the config options cannot be used to debug issues
prior to loading the configuration file (nor issues while loading the
configuration file) ?
Which of these options provide enough information for a bug report ? Is
-V enough ?
It seems that shm logging is better in the sense that it does not
increase a log file size, but not as nice as it locks some memory space.
What is the reason behind shm logging, instead of the usual logging to
file + logrotate ?
Best regards,
Layus.
