3.3.1 Level Syntax

Debug levels can be set either from the command line, by using the --debug-level command line option, or from the configuration file, using the ‘.debug.level’ statement. In both cases, the level is specified as a list of individual levels, delimited with semicolons. Each individual level can be specified as:

!category

Disables all levels for the specified category.

category

Enables all levels for the specified category.

category.level

For the given category, enables all levels from ‘error’ to level, inclusive.

category.=level

Enables only the given level for this category.

category.!level

Disables all levels from ‘error’ to level, inclusive, for this category.

category.!=level

Disables only the given level in this category.

category.levelA-levelB

Enables all levels in the range from levelA to levelB, inclusive.

category.!levelA-levelB

Disables all levels in the range from levelA to levelB, inclusive.

Additionally, a comma-separated list of level specifications is allowed after the dot. For example, the following specification: 

acl.prot,!=trace9,!trace2

enables in category ‘acl’ all levels, except ‘trace9’, ‘trace0’, ‘trace1’, and ‘trace2’.
