Name

dprintf - debug level dependant formatted output conversion

Synopsis


extern int debug_level;
void nemo_dprintf(int level, char *format, ...);void
dprintf(int level, char *format, ...);
bool nemo_debug(int level);

Description

dprintf can be used much in the same way as UNIX counterpart printf(3) and fprintf(3) , except that the output of dprintf is always to the standard output device, stderr, and is only done when the input parameter level is less or equal a user or system defined debug_level. The user can set debug_level by using a system keyword debug= or setting an environment variable DEBUG (this is done by initparam(3NEMO) ). format is the string to be encoded. The optional remaining arguments arg are handled through a variable argument mechanism (see also printf(3) ).

nemo_debug can be used to test for a debug level. Thus equivalent statements are:

    dprintf(3,"Hello world0);
    if (nemo_debug(3)) fprintf(stderr,"Hello world0);

Snprintfv

Note dprintf(int,char *,...) is now used by the snprintfv package see http://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/ The official name for NEMO’s function is now nemo_dprintf() although a macro will accept dprintf() since their prototype happens to be the same as ours. You just don’t have acccess to their code.
