Another solution I use for pcsc-lite and libccid is to use an environment variable like PCSCLITE_DEBUG to activate debug in libpcsclite. - The user do not have to be root and edit a configuration file. - The user do not have to change a configuration file back to normal - The configuration is only for one use in one shell. Not for the entire system (in a multi-user system) We could have the same for OpenSC. Something like: $ export OPENSC_DEBUG=devel to suppress time and line numbers. Or use: $ export OPENSC_DEBUG_FORMAT=pid:time:processname:line Or maybe look at something like log4c [1] (never used myself). bye [1] http://log4c.sourceforge.net/ -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
