.SH NAME
tdedebugdialog
\- A dialog box for setting preferences for debug output
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtdedebugdialog\fP [Qt\-options] [KDE\-options] [options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBTDEDebugDialog\fP shows a dialog box for managing diagnostic messages at runtime.
.sp 1
If you simply start \fBtdedebugdialog\fP, you will see a list of \fBareas\fP, that can be disabled or enabled.
.sp 1
If you start \fBtdedebugdialog \-\-fullmode\fP, then for every severity level you can define separately what should be done with the diagnostic messages of that level, and the same for each debug area.
.sp 1
In full mode, first you should select the debug area you are interested in from the drop down list at the top.
.sp 1
You may independently set the output for various types of messages:
.sp 1
.RS 3
\- Information
.br
\- Warning
.br
\- Error
.br
\- Fatal Error
.RE
.PP
For each of these types, you can set the following:
.sp 1
\fBOutput to\fP:
.br
In this Combobox, you can choose where the messages should be output. The choices are: \fBFile\fP?, \fBMessage Box\fP, \fBShell\fP (meaning stderr), \fBSyslog\fP an \fBNone\fP. Please do not direct fatal messages to syslog unless you are the system administrator yourself. The default is ?Message Box?.
.sp 1
\fBFilename:\fP
.br
This is only enabled when you have chosen \fBFile\fP as the output and provides the name of that file (which is interpreted as relative to the current folder). The default is \fIkdebug.dbg\fP.
Apart from this, you can also tick the checkbox Abort on fatal errors. In this case, if a diagnostic message with the severity level KDEBUG_FATAL is output, the application aborts with a SIGABRT after outputting the message.
.sp 1
When you close the dialog by pressing OK, your entries apply immediately and are saved in \fIkdebugrc\fP. When you press Cancel, your entries are discarded and the old ones are restored.
